Fresh off Sunday night’s taser-fueled fan violence at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, the NFL will conduct pat downs from the ankles up this season.
In the past, the pat downs went from the waist up.
“The enhanced security procedures recommended by our office before the start of the season will further increase the safety of fans but will require some additional time,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told USA T0day in a statement Thursday. “We encourage fans to come early, enjoy their tailgating tradition, and be patient as they enter the stadium.”

They need more fake jobs for Eric Holder’s people where they get to stick it to people who are not Eric Holder’s people.

It's not about safety.
It's about control.
Next they'll be in the shopping malls and strip centers.
One of these days you'll pass through a body-scanner to go to the hardware store.

How pathetic is that? If the only way your team can win is if the competition is incapacitated, your team does not deserve to win.

Be sure to thank the many fans of NY teams for achieving new lows - again - and inconveniencing the rest of the nation.

It will never end. Not until every last jihadist is exterminated. ...which, short of divine intervention, won’t be happening.

Eventually, it’ll be a nationwide curfew, random stop and frisks for EVERYBODY, etc. Welcome to the world of V For Vendetta.

We were able to buy beer into the fourth quarter at Giants games until the idiot Jets fans started fights and fires in the stands one night.

Doesn't bother me since I refuse to patronize the NFL anyway - expect for the tax money my municipality extorts from me to pay to the lousy owner of "our" lousy team.
I know, I know, "When they came for the NFL fans, I did not say anything because I am not an NFL fan. When they came for the NBA fans, I said nothing because I am not a thug. When they came for the show tunes fans, I said nothing because I am not gay, yada, yada, yada..."

Of course you want an injusry to Bardy, because every time the Steel 'curtain' comes up against the Pats in the playoffs, they are melted down into tin...
GO PATS!!! : )
