No Fun League not a No Fights League

Is the No Fun League happy now?

I don't wish to turn the 'Pail into a sports gossip blog, but the NFL's tyranny isn't having quite the results the league claimed it would have.

Every time the Nazi Fascist League starts treating fans more like criminals, fans become more like criminals. This is the league that began frisking spectators and has instituted a laughable "code of conduct" for tailgaters, yet fan misbehavior seems to get more and more out of control each year.

When our locally favored Cincinnati Bengals (now 0-7) hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, it was a downright spectacle. A Bengals enthusiast reportedly joked to a Steelers buff that "you guys are going to be the L.A. Steelers", because of reports that the Pittsburgh team might relocate to California. When the man made this quip, someone sucker-punched him right in the snoot.

The man's wrist was broken, and blood ruined his prized Rudi Johnson jersey he was wearing.

What do those who claimed pat-downs were a cure-all have to say about this? This incident sure puts the kibosh on that claim, doesn't it?

It's just like what's been happening in America's schools. Every time students get treated more like criminals, there's more shootings, bullying, and other violence.

But I know what the response is going to be. The NFL will use the fight in Cincinnati as an excuse for even more stringent measures against fans. And then the fights will get worse. And the vicious cycle will continue.

Kind of like what's happened with the schools.

Turn the country into a prison state, and people become criminals.
