Time to crack down on NFL hooligansby Kevin Hench Once again NFL commissioner Roger Goodell seems intent on breaking with the head-in-the-sand approach of his predecessor, Paul Tagliabue. For years as drunkenness and violence escalated at NFL stadiums the league's policy was, uh, good luck with that. But on Thursday Goodell announced he will be issuing a fan conduct policy that will hopefully forestall the nuclear option of banning alcohol at NFL games. After all, of the many revenue streams in pro sports, can any possibly be as lucrative as the stream of domestic beer selling for $8 a cup? http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8169916/Time-to-crack-down-on-NFL-hooligans
i like a good time as much as anybody else. rival fans yelling at each other just makes the game better. but there are kids in the stands for cryin out loud. the fighting, cussing and being falling down drunk has got to stop. not to mention beating somebody unconscious because they like another team does not create a family oriented atmosphere.
