kallend 2,151 #26 January 26, 2007 Quote"What is the USA doing" Nice - I didn't know the Superbowl represented the entire US. it's not like it's some tiny little single culture country - like France, or Spain, or Belgium, or Singapore. The US is big and has a ton of cultures, like Canada, or China. I am led to believe that more Americans watch the Superbowl on TV than any other program. I also believe the penetration of the TV market is sufficiently great as to justify calling it "US Culture".... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #27 January 26, 2007 QuoteAt the fuckin Super Bowl. I guess they just want you to work pay taxes and stay at home anymore. Gotta keep you safe don't ya know http://cbs4.com/sports/local_story_025154548.html First off, most of the people that go to the Super Bowl aren't the hard core fans. Much like the World Series, the NFL owns about 90% of the tickets, the last 10% are handed out among season ticket holders and the two teams that play. The other 90% are handed out by the NFL as they see fit: promotions, business partners, trusted/valued friends, etc. This means that the people you see for 18 weeks on TV braving the cold are left at home, or they journey to sit outside the game for the entire thing and tailgate. For most fans, the traditional season happenings end with the last home game. I can see part of this as a security issue, part of this as crowd control, and the rest as 'big game' image security (just TRY to use Super Bowl on any non-NFL events and watch how fast their lawyer calls you). I personally don't care as much about the tailgate issue as I do that tickets are not obtainable for the majority of the fans._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

sundevil777 102 #31 January 27, 2007 QuotePlease read the last line in the article before continuing this circle jerk. The last line is: QuoteThere is no law prohibiting tailgating outside of the stadium property. That is CBS making that claim. I don't believe it. As I said earlier, I don't believe we can just park at any curb, and pull out a grill to start cooking. I don't believe it is legal in that city for a person to walk around the public streets drinking a beer. Perhaps if tailgating is defined as a gathering of friends, with no implied cooking and drinking of alcohol, then it is legal because of our constitutional right for freedom of assembly.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
