Now, Dave Bing is a legend and all, but as has been covered here and elsewhere ad nauseum, live NFL games really are not family entertainment. They just aren't. I won't take my son to a pro football game until he's in middle school at least. Just too many drunks, too expensive, too many chances that something bad will happen.
Obviously something like this qualifies as something bad that could happen, but I don't think the City of Detroit is going to impose a 2 beer max at Ford Field or crack down on binge drinking in the parking lot, so...
I agree, if you want family friendly you need to nix the beer and the scantily clad cheerleaders as well. I like hot chicks for sure, but why do you need lingerie models from Macys on the sidelines if the focus is on the game and there are kids around? The Lions don't have cheerleaders, and used to have HS colorguard and baton twirlers do the cheer stuff.
