The NFL...Just A Beer Delivery Vehicle?

IMO,I believe Beer and Alcohol in general should be banned from football games.There is no need and maybe the people that think they know the game would realize they don't.
See... I was agreeing with you up until now. There is nothing wrong with having a beer at the game. 99% of the people who drink at a game act responsibly. It is the other 1% that are stupid. You just can't stop stupid.

Your age is showing.

Yes I agree, when i go to the stadium I am immature, and for the next week i hear stories of how out of control myself and my friends are. However, I cant help it, and nor will I try to defend my actions and blame alcohol. I am a true asshole when I go to the game especially to philly fans. I have never gone over the line at anyone who didnt deserve it though. I target those who come to Fedex to bash Skins fans and I make thier experience miserable. I have also been known to yell at skins fans for wearing Lavar jerseys within the last few years... kind of uncalled for but I cant help it, I always hated the guy.

I did however tell a lady at Costco that her baby would be cuter if it were wearing a redskins hat.... Talk about stink eye!

This is borderline an anti-American comment

be careful, next thing I know you will be preaching no turkey on thanksgiving!


im kidding , however if they banned alcohol you would be punnishing 70% of people who can control themselves, its only 10 percent of people who are out of control. Also, that 10 percent would find a way to bring in alcohol if they really wanted to. I have snuck in almost 12 beers wearing hockey socks during the winter before. And yes, im proud of that!

And we have proof of my last comment

Reeeaaaaallllly gay article.

It's all about personal responsibility and respect for others.

I've been to numerous sporting events in my day (Skins, O's, Nats, Caps, Terps, and Seagulls (Salisbury represent)). On occasion, I've been know to partake in more than my fair share of booze, cheer on my teams, and shout at opposing teams fans. I have never gotten in any fist fight with another fan, nor have I been so embarrassing to the point where people have to restrain and/or remove me for the situation.

There is a fine line between superfan-ism and stupidity. Unfortunately, most stupidity at sporting events occur when people jump over that line and forget to keep their self-responsibility and respect in check. Whatever you do to yourself is fine, however if it disrupts those around you, that is where the problem lies. The person next to you as the same right to have a good time as you do, and if you disrupt that, it's not kosher.

I agree. I have never gotten into a physical altercation at a game, but have gotten into it pretty good with some opposing fans. Insults, rough languague, you name it. The closest I have ever come to a fight was with another Rangers fan. With my Penguin fan brother and he was on crutches as he just had ACL surgery the week before. Rangers fan called him a handicapped bastard and I got right in his face. Other time was in Philly for rangers-flyers. In the mens room, some clown makes a remark about me wearing my rangers jersey, "You can get your a$$ kicked wearing that here." I looked at him and said, "By who? Because you are definitely not kicking my ass." He then said, "Maybe not me, but there are 50 of us in here." Then I said, "Oh, so you are the pu$$y who shoots off his mouth and hopes people will back him up?" His friends even laughed at him, but thinking back, that could have easily caused a problem. Note: I wasn't drunk in either case.

In the stadium it wouldn't matter. When I go to a Giants game I am there a minimum of 4 hours early and I start drinking, I rarely get drunk. I can't remember ever buying a beer inside the stadium. They could try banning alcohol in the parking lot, but that is not easy to enforce.

Prohibition anyone?

Although that was banning alcohol everywhere, the same kinda thing would go down if you banned it from games and the parking lot. Not the wild outburst of crime, but the fact that if people banned it they will jump through whatever hoops necessary to try to sneak it in anyway.

You're banned from bringing outside food into a movie theater yet I sat next to a couple who snuck HARD LIQUOR into the movie.

Fact of the matter is, if you make a rule like no alcohol, people are just gonna break it anyway. In fact, if it was me, and they banned alcohol, I'd just get drink prior to the game and take public transportation to the game.

You actually get drunk by american beer? :confused: Wow. What´s next? Banning water from the Stadium? :nono:

First of all they do not realize what they are missing. Most of them have never drank anything but American beer. I myself can not drink American beer unless I am really desperate. Second of all, American Beer still contains alcohol and the alcohol content is only slightly lower than most German Beer. I would have to agree that American beer does taste like flavored water and it does take longer to get drunk off of it. In all honesty I wish that they would sell a good German Weisen Bier at our stadiums, but they do not. We gotta drink what we can get.

I like Warsteiner and 1898, personally.
