Die-hard football fans attending the Super Bowl game at Dolphin Stadium are getting a rude awakening after finding out that no tailgating of any type will be allowed on game day within one mile of the stadium.

"There is no tailgating allowed in the Dolphin Stadium parking lots," Sue Jaquez, a member of the Super Bowl XLI Host Committee, confirmed on Tuesday. "And there is no tailgating anywhere within a one-mile radius of the stadium." "And there are no RVs allowed." http://cbs4.com/sports/local_story_025154548.html
What kind of communist crap is this? No tailgating at the superbowl! What's next, no football?

I would support a ban on football.

It's part of the war on terror.
Consider yourself protected.

What kind of communist crap is this? No tailgating at the superbowl! What's next, no football?

a democratic one of course...

It's a decision by the NFL.

Hell in a handbasket my friends.

all tailgating should be illegal, but i dont see how the rugby board(thats all yankball is, just rugby with armour on) has any power over road users.

What kind of communist crap is this? No tailgating at the superbowl! What's next, no football?It is BS. Arrowhead (home of the Chiefs) makes a virtual festival out of tailgating. People show up to the parking lot 4 hours before the game! No tailgating at the Super Bowl? That's like no smoking at a bar. Next there will be no talking and No drinking at bars!
It isn't 'communist' though madant. It's conservatism and it's Nanny State. Evil Alcohol, Preserve Our Family Values...that crap. Communists would be swilling vodka and dancing with interlocked arms to Russian folk music. Conservatives would be frowning at the alcohol consumption and noisy ruffians sullying their community.

ok, obviously there is some weird yank definition of tailgating, so can someone inform me?

ok, obviously there is some weird yank definition of tailgating, so can someone inform me?Football fans, fanatics drive to the stadium on Game Day hours early, unload the folding chairs, BBQ pits, kegs of beer, Porto Potties, TV and party till the game starts. Tens of thousands pack the football stadium lot. Some come with no ticket and just pay the $40 to park and party in the lot all day.
It is elaborate for some, hot air balloons, tents, portable dance floors, lots of team flags etc. Rules vary from stadium to stadium though, with KC having very lax regulations. Occassional fights and fires have erupted here & there.

You're thinking conservatives circa 1950. Modern day conservatives like to party. And the nanny state is now being promoted by the left at least as much as the right.

Here in Fort Wayne, our idiot Democrat mayor got a ban on smoking in all public places passed. You can't even smoke within twenty feet of a building.

By the way, I don't even smoke. But bars without smoke just don't seem right. It pisses me off to have the government telling me I can't smoke, or I have to wear a seatbelt, or my kids need to be in a booster seat until they're seventeen.

I know the Family Values crusaders are opposed to alcohol consumption and they promote the rightist nanny state: Government says gays can't marry, they want science replaced by religion (stem cell debate) they want the government to decide no women should get an abortion, they want censored books, movies and school science standards to match conservative values. They want rap and rock to sterilize their music, they want all tv to revert to 1940 standars and theywant sex shops and even Girls Gone Wild commercials banned. (A senate propsal from a nanny state rightist.)
The left wants racism to end, sexism to stop, choice and respect for all people.
I smoke and pay more in taxes for my product than anything else. Costs about 30cents to manufacture a pack of premium smokes like Marlboro but it's taxed to $3.90 here. In high school smokes (same brand) were 55cents, same cost as a school lunch.

Remember the anti-rock hearings that Frank Zappa testified at? Who was behind that? Tipper Gore, for one. Who's one of the main forces trying to ban video games? Joe Lieberman.

Plenty of feminists oppose Girls Gone Wild and other pornography on the grounds that it exploits women. Who is trying to keep us from driving snowmobiles at national parks?

In the sixties, the Left was the party party, but those days have passed. Now there are plenty of jerks on both sides of the aisle.

What freaking "security reasons"? One more organization decides to abuse the "security" code word. People simply should not put up with it.

You're right about feminists opposing women being portrayed as drunken whores for entertainment. Snowmobiles at national parks is a bad thing. A rightist nanny state deciding who gets married and who is denied birth control or abortion is a very different much more important thing. Been snowmobiling lately? I've never been. But it is illegal for me to marry and I worked clinic defense at Planned Parenthood before and know the issues of personal rights and....snowmobiling are leagues apart in every way.

The real reason is probably that they're afraid tailgating might cut back on concession sales.

I was at the drive-in with my family and my youngest son (I think 6 at the time) needed to go to the bathroom. We were parked in the very back row, so I told him to wait until dark and we'd go over by the trees. Well, just as it was getting dark I heard the sound of someone pissing on the ground. I looked over and saw that my son decided to just stand up and pee right were he was. It so happened that he was peeing right under the lawnchair of the guy in front of us and some was hitting the guys blanket! I quietly led him back behind the car and the guy in the lawnchair was none the wiser. I had to explain to my son that just because we might occasionally pee outside, it didn't mean you could just pee anywhere!

sweet story. pampers are very usefull too...

Maybe if the concession stands would stop ass-raping people for a 4 ounce beer, they wouldn't have to worry about this.

Madanthonywayne:

I share your outrage.

Seriously: What the fuckity fuck?

Seriously: What the fuckity fuck?

inappropriate language.

Inappropriate bannings of tail gating.

It is the equivalent of saying "you can't watch football at the superbowl".

that is inappropriate too.

...as for inappropriate language being quated with the strong tied relationship with football...inconclusive.

MetaKron is a conspiracy theorist. Possibly a Libertarian (although I hate how Classical Liberals are shat on by conspiracy folks).

LOL! I have to agree, I thought YOU were a conservative.:confused: Hmm.

These days "conservatives" only seem interested in how many stupid laws they can pass that compromise human rights. I'm interested in stopping them from doing that. Unfortunately I've got only one kind of gold that I can shower them with.

Anyway, I don't know what gives them the right to ban tailgating within a mile of the stadium, and the city should be ashamed to go along with it. When they treat fans like that, fans should rebel and neither give them any money nor watch the game. It's football, for crying out loud. It is not an appropriate setting for church-lady types or greedheads.

I tend to think that this has a whole lot to do with it; maybe mostly to do with it. Security may play a minor role. Maybe Miami is just that rough, I don't know, I'm not too familiar with it. That Miami U. football player did get murdered there just some months ago. Why shouldn't it come down to the dollar, though?

all tailgating should be illegal, but i dont see how the rugby board(thats all yankball is, just rugby with armour on) has any power over road users.

You forgot having to rest every time they get knocked down too.

Having played both I can assure you this is not the case.

Did you cry when you played rugby?

Like a baby, had to keep a box of tissues handy. Once I even got a bruise!!

it is the equivalent to rugby played by guys that make rugby players look like children.

for a former marketing job i have had, i had the honor of meeting mister Jerry Ball.....http://images.google.be/imgres?imgurl=http://www.detroitlions.com/photos/ll-ball.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.detroitlions.com/document_display.cfm%3Fdocument_id%3D3831&h=250&w=320&sz=23&hl=nl&start=2&tbnid=0uYa7buuczcDkM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=118&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djerry%2Bball%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dnl%2 6sa%3DG

if he were to be a rugby player, you would wish you had armor the first time he ran into you, too.

Yeah there are some big boys in the game at 6' 100 kilos I was a small fry on the line in college. The main difference is in the way you hit in american football vs rugby. In american football yardage is all important so you hit to stop the ball carrier dead in his tracks in rugby it doesn't really matter if when you tackle someone they fall forward thus gaining an extra yard or two since there are no first downs.

I'll see you that guy, and raise you one Jonah Lomu;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah_Lomu

"At 1.96[3] metres (6 foot 5 inches/195.58 centimetres), Lomu is as tall as most locks, and at 119 kilograms[3] (19.5 stone/273 pounds) is as heavy as most prop forwards. Despite his size he was (the All Blacks heaviest ever back), when healthy, still able to run 100 metres (109.4 yards) in 10.8 seconds.[4]"

ill see your jonah lomu, and raise you a william "the refrigerator" perry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Refrigerator
Nicknamed "The Refrigerator" for his gargantuan, square-like frame, Perry was 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) and weighed 402 lb (182.5 kg).

coherent in this thread? Please enlighten us.

Oh and FYI if you want to say this as an insult that yanks will understand, use pussys instead of fannies. Fanny is just a cutesy word for bottom in the US.

Hey, if you can't speak english properly, that's your problem, not mine.
