I would like to know if I am the only person that thinks it is wrong to serve Beer or any achool at places were kids play organized football. The kids ages are from 5 - 14. Can parents, coaches, and fans go 2 hours without a beer? Is that to much to ask? Or do these parents, coaches, and fans need this liquid courage so they can yell their unsportsmanlike comments, slurs. I could go on with some examples but we all know how people get after they had a couple of beers. There was a very heated argument after a game last year, were people had to pull guys apart and the cops had to be called. I would like us parents, coaches, and fans to set the example. I will end by asking this, if your kid is able to play in high school, will you be able to sit at his/her game and drink beer/achool there? That might be a long 4 years.

I agree with you that alcohol should not be one of the items in the concession stand. Some teams rely on beer sales for concessions $$ and are reluctant to remove it for fear of missing out on revenue.

I agree that the beer can wait. I coach and it is a personal rule and commitment that I do not drink before a game or even at half time as some do. Kids are smart and they can tell.

After the games are over, then I'll throw a few back with the best of them!
