OT Tailgating banned at HS Football Championship Games

[fg7321]

In NJ we try to squeeze every last dollar we can out of the taxpayer and any fun that one might have. Tailgating is not just about drinking and who does drugs out in the open at a tailgate???

The quote at the end of the article sums it up perfectly.

"All of our member schools are in agreement that we will not tolerate a few individuals enjoying themselves at the expense of everyone else.”

In other words everyone should be made as miserable as they are.

I'm kind of curious as to what they are going to do if a family has a table set up and is feeding their kids a healthy lunch before the game rather than a $5 hot dog inside the stadium.

NJSIAA has lost their minds

They rescinded this and are allowing "eating" just no alcohol. But they say they have no one to enforce it anyway. Bunch of dummies, they should have just kept their mouths shut.

only in NJ. Why are they even getting involved in this? What anyone does before or after a HS sporting event should not concern them. What if someone is sitting in their car and eating, is that illegal too? What is the enforcement? Who is going to walk up to someone and say they aren't allowed to eat before the game? What is the punishment for someone who does eat a hot dog out in the parking lot?

That's how they do things over my way.

Tailgates are not the problem. People are the problem. Ban people from attending but allow tailgates. Problem solved.

NJSIAA makes the NCAA look like a meeting of the minds.

It looks like Happy Valley to me.

Yes, many people including myself complained on NJ.com.
They (now) claim only the Meadowlands can enforce.

I can see it right now-a Mom gives her kid a "Little Debbie" cake and gets arrested. She sues the state and it winds up costing taxpayers millions.

A German soldier named Hans Staden went to Brazil in late 1500s. He was captured by an Indian tribe who practiced cannibalism. He would survive and return to Europe, where he wrote about his captivity. The scenes of cannibalism and mayhem described by Staden were done by Theodor de Bry. If you want to read some chilling stuff check out Staden's writings.

If I watch on TV at home may I drink alcoholic beverages ?
