If you have to drink to enjoy a football game, is it really the game you're enjoying?
It's 4 hours of your life 6 times a year. I don't see how anyone can miss drinking that much that they have to have it in those 4 hours. Let Baylor be what Baylor wants to be, and that's a dry campus. Same goes for tobacco on campus, too.
While I don't personally care whether or not we sell beer at games, this is kind of a silly argument. So people should only hope for stadium amenities that they can't go without for 4 hours?
I don't think he's saying that. I think what he's saying is that since drinking does violate the convictions of a material, albeit shrinking, portion of the population, and since there is a great deal of destructive behavior that is associated with drinking (check 99% of every college sexual assault case for confirmation), and since the activity is not even legal for about 2/3s of the college students (it's a college event after all), that it shouldn't be a big deal to be obliged to abstain from that amenity for just a small segment of your life.
Probably not just an alcohol thing...would probably have the same attitude about gambling at the stadium also.
Well, if that is what he was saying you certainly said it much better than him. I think that he hinted at that in his last sentence, but I was responding the majority of his post:
"If you have to drink to enjoy a football game, is it really the game you're enjoying?"
Did anybody state otherwise?
"It's 4 hours of your life 6 times a year. I don't see how anyone can miss drinking that much that they have to have it in those 4 hours."
Seems a bit dramatic for people merely suggesting that it would be nice if McLane sold beer. There are a lot of things I can go 4 hours without...water, food, bathroom, wifi, etc...but doesn't mean it isn't nice to have them at that stadium.
