stwasm Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Well, frankly with me not getting drunk, my own personal tailgate party would simply be enjoying sodas and food with a bunch of other same team fans, what is so wrong about that. Honestly you don't have to get drunk at a tailgate party. Too bad more people don't think like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don't HAVE to get drunk at a tailgate does not mean that you SHOULDN'T get drunk at a tailgate. There is a difference. I also agree, that you don't have to get drunk at a tailgate. I am well aware of it but, I like to drink at a football game. Some people like to get hotdogs and/or soft pretzels. Some people buy programs. Some people just buy beer. Who gives a crap! You will do what you do and the people who think the opposite of you will do what they do. This isn't another post where PG is 'attacking' you.. just trying to make sure that you know the difference.

Honestly you don't have to get drunk at a tailgate party. I don't believe I ever mentioned alcohol or drunkeness in my post. I go to sporting events to watch the game. I show up a little before the start of the game and leave immediately after it's over. For me, there is no real need for the tailgating experience at all. If others wish to do it, fine; but it's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty warm down there, you probably wouldnt have to wear a shirt for much of the trip :laugh: But, I wouldn't have tickets to a football game. It's a shame. I was really gonna go down there and prove to you that I could tailgate with a group of 3-4 people and not have anything happen to us. You made a bet, and retracted it. :mad: :laugh: And I look good without a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Just because you don't HAVE to get drunk at a tailgate does not mean that you SHOULDN'T get drunk at a tailgate. There is a difference. Explain to me why you SHOULD get drunk at a tailgate. Please PG, you think he would pass up an opportunity to yet again preach to the unwashed masses about the horrible evil of drinking? You naive, little man. :no: Rincewind, the fact that you'd make a stupid statement like the one above shows that you're only reading what you want to read and not trying to understand my point of view. I have no problem with people drinking alcohol. The problem comes when those same people can't handle their liquor and interfere with my trying to enjoy the game. The people who drink too much are the same people who puke in the stands, want to pick fights, yell constantly for no reason and just generally make fools of themselves. I'm seeing it more and more at FedEx Field and I'm tired of it. I applaud the NFL's efforts to create a more family-like atmosphere. Just because I don't drink alcohol, does not make me morally superior to you or anyone else on this board who does, nor does it give you the right to insult me.

stwasm Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 sometimes you can come across that way. just being honest. I've been told that and that's why I've made it a point recently to say that I'm not morally superior to anyone on this board. I'm strictly talking from the point of view of someone trying to enjoy the game. A lot of the incidences that take place in the stands are fueled by drunk people and I'm very sensitive to that. And you have to admit that there are many people who attend these games who drink just to get drunk. Let me stress again.... I don't care if you drink a beer, a Smirnoff or whatever. It's when you interfere with my enjoyment of the game where I have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm not sure who had the first tailgate, maybe one of the older teams who are in the cold, I'm thinking Packers or Bears fans. Probably some college team. Anyways, from what I've known, tailgating is as old as football itself. Shoot, I'm sure it could go back to the Civil War where the wives would have picnics and whatnot before and during battles. I'm just saying that if I'm going to a game, I consider the tailgate experience part of it. For those who don't really care to tailgate, more power to you. But for those who think it's great that the NFL is infringing on something that has meant a lot to the majority of football fans for decades, possibly even a century, booo on you.

IONTOP Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Explain to me why you SHOULD get drunk at a tailgate. I should get drunk at a tailgate because if I don't, I will be too self conscious of other people around me and I will not try to get my section to stand up and cheer... Also when I am at road games, I will not cheer because I will try to hard to be that "good visiting fan" who acted like a club level ticket holder. In short... Me without beer = Wine and Cheese crowd... Me with beer = Upper deck cheering squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times have changed and so have people. It's the idiots who ruin it for every one else. I'm sure there are tailgates out there where the people take precautions and make sure they stay under control. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks about that. In reality, the NFL is just trying to keep all Super Bowl attendees as safe as possible. I realize I'm not telling you anything you want to hear, but something has to be done about those who are out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
