The NFL's new bag policy.

Is it really for security or public safety? Targeting of female fans? A forced marketing ploy?

After the Boston Bombing and various subway attacks world-wide, how can you even begin to doubt that it is a security measure?

It's a way to boost concession sales, same as in airports.

Going to a live NFL game is an atrocious experience, anyway.

Football is really stupid.

Depends on the stadium and team. Some have the same energy as a college game, others are fair weather fans going through the motions in an environment that's probably responsible for more than one mass murder.

Glad I haven't bought my season tickets yet. This cancels that idea. I always bring in a seat cushion (prohibited now) and a folded blanket I use as a lumbar support (prohibited now). Without those, I can't sit through the 3-hour game. And I'll be damned if I am going to buy one from them every game.
