Thanks Gindy. What I find interesting about this is that these sorts of things have been going on for so long (fans storming field, tearing down goalposts, having fun, etc.), why now is it bad and people are getting blasted with 50K volts?
Jeezuz you do that to me or even some dude next to me I go from 'WEEEEE!!! fun!' to 'What the fuck!??!' and angry nathan.
Just the logic here does not add up to me. Especially since these fans pay huge money to go in there and taking down goal posts may, at the most, cost around $1000 or so?
Just confusing. Big brother tactics, I no like.
