    Another weird thing that’s happened in recent NFL games…fans have been asked to help shovel snow out of the stadiums.

    I honestly don’t know what I think about that. I’m sure the underpaid and overworked stadium staff appreciates the help. It’s a massive job.

    On the other hand, it reminds me that these pro teams are always expecting subsidies of various types from the taxpayers and local communities, while vacuuming up almost all of the money to the pockets of the owners.

      Wow. That takes self serve to whole other level. I get the stadiums are big, but that kind of request needs to come with consideration, even reduced ticket prices could do the teick if they’re asking fans.

      Or yeah, they could just pay fair value for services rendered, i know alien concept isn’t it! Lol

      Are attendees going along with it?
