Fans Can't Buy 'Anti-Freeze' at Frozen Tundra Following Halftime

I think their hands are cold. Nothing else. Just the hands.
Now this just sucks.

I don't know how much beers are at Lambeau Field, but apparently there will not be any sold once the third quarter starts during the wildcard game with the Minnesota Vikings Saturday night.

They claim that an incident in a nearby parking lot has nothing to do with the decision, but the fact of the matter is this--fans (not all, but enough) suck at live games.

How many incidents of violence have we heard about this year? How many clips are on YouTube of fans fighting in the parking lot or in the stands? How many times have we heard about fans getting shot or stabbed because they happened to be cheering for the away team?

Okay, the last one hasn't happened a lot, but the fact that it has says a lot about fans these days. Folks, it is okay to love your team. It is perfectly fine to want to cheer for your team. However, when support turns to aggression it has gone too far.

Remember when a war vet wearing a Cowboys jersey was harassed at a local bar following the Cowboys/Panthers game in Charlotte earlier this season. When interviewed afterwards the punk in question still saw nothing wrong with his actions. Don't quote me on this, but if memory serves he even made comments referring to not wanting their kind or that they should know better.

It's bad enough that racism is still prevalent in our society, but when we start to exclude people because they happen to like someone that we don't is beyond ridiculous.

It's ridonkulous.

And now there will be thousands off people that can't get that extra beer they need in order to help stay warm while watching the game tonight at the Frozen Tundra.

It looks pretty cold out there too.
