Just another reason to stop watching the NFL:
FACT: The fan experience of attending an @NFL football game is putrid. It's violent and vulgar. Grown men sorting out their issues.Hard pass https://t.co/8mFuPLjaNT

The last time I went to one my wife got hit with a flying whisky bottle. I missed half the game finding the guy. And that was the best part. https://t.co/ZirEv4Z3ou

Yep. Unless I have expensive enough seats to price out the scumbags, I'm not going. Sorry @NFL https://t.co/vV5RfBP5dq
