I'm glad you are buzzed and not bothering me ... it's the ones who are buzzed and cursing, vomiting, urinating in the sinks in the rest rooms and acting like fools that bother me and others.
All I know is that I've been attending sports events since the 1960s and I can tell you from personal experience that the crowds are more profane, nasty and rude today than back then. And, anyone else who is in the same boat would agree ... unless they are one of the jerks ruining it for the majority of fans. That's all the citation needed for a column or message board. And, if I were to write a news story, I guarantee you that I could come up with those numbers.
Good to hear that ... perhaps they are getting the message!
Hey, that's a great idea ...
I guess we'll agree to disagree because I do not need beer or bloody marys at a football game to have a great time. Now bloody mary and a nice Sunday brunch ... yes. And, beer at a backyard barbeque ... yes.
It's a free country and you can do what you wish. I also agree it would be great if people did not get "sloppy" drunk as you say. Alas, that is not happening. I'm just glad almost everyone has driven home by the time we leave the press box four hours after the game.
You're right about going after the jerks, but I really think those numbers have been growing in recent years. It's sort of like the online world; people drop their inhibitions hiding behind their monikers the same way they act the fool when their brains have been dulled by booze.
I already pointed out that there is too much money involved for alcohol ever to go away from athletic events. And I truly believe that if you are among good friends at an event you enjoy, you really don't need alcohol to make it better. Good food YES!
I've often wondered what would have happened if that bottle had hit me squarely on the head.
