Stand And Your Out


So apparently when you go to a football game you're suppose to act like you work on an Amish farm and show no emotion. We all know the general rules, no smoking, no fighting (although this happens like 100 times a game and at times is more exciting than the actual game) and no throwing things on the field. If you adhere to these rules the rest is fair game and you are allowed to enjoy your self.

Well not anymore, at least not in Kansas City, The Cheifs have passed a new rule in their Fan code of conduct that prohibits fans from...STANDING. That's right, that is not a typo, you are no longer allowed to stand at Cheifs games. It is so prohibited that its actually the #2 rules on the Fans Code Of Conduct list. And for the best fans, the Cheifs have set up a special text messaging system so that you can COMPLAING ABOUT SOMEBODY STANDING IN-FRONT OR AROUND YOU. Are you serious, what has the world come to?

How will fans go to the rest room or get themselves some chili, maybe there is a 5 second grace period for standing who knows. The vendors walking around the stadium won't be able to do that anymore, the bearers of the treats will now have to crab walk their ways up and down the aisles.

The good thing about this rule and the one thing that makes sense, is that the Cheifs aren't exactly an amazing team and well lets be honest, they haven't given their fans something to stand about since 2003, the last time they sniffed the playoffs.

I'm a failure. Time to put in for early retirement.
