Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah news.


So two news stories I want to share.
First:
Battle of the Bay trouble. (AOL Sporting News)
I like how it took the wonderful Bay Area to draw attention to "irrisponsible drinking" at football games.
Like we draw attention to everything else violent and stupid...
So apparently the cause for the Battle of the Bay fights and shootings were cause the people in the fight were drunk.
SFPD hasn't officailly said that was the cause, but isn't that how it normally goes?
I highly doubt the NFL will ever ban alcohol...
Especially because one of their biggest sponsors is Anheuser-Busch.
It's sad that there were two shootings and the huge fight over a damn football game.
In addition, I didn't like the article and it seeming to blame the NFL for fan's stupidity and immaturity.
