Snipers Wanted



Who is this idiot you may ask? Well, yesterday in a game between the Packers and Bengals, this idoit ran on to the field and took the ball from Brett Favre during the middle of a play. Funny huh? Yeah, not really. One of these days, someone is going to be crazy enough to actually run on to the field and kill a player. Not sure what sport it will be in, but it will happen. It was only a couple of years ago in a MLB game that a dad and son ran on to the field and started to beat up a poor old third base coach. This guy actually got pretty hurt before the rest of the team was able to step in and make the save. So when will it stop? How are we going to prevent a player from being killed on the field by a crazed fan. Simple: snipers at every game. It is quite simple. You let the fans know that there is in fact a sniper at the stadium. You run on to the field and run towards a player, you will be shot down. Think fans will run on to the field anymore? Yeah, probably not. Will anyone run on to field ever again with this knowledge in their back of the head? Not unless they want anything else going through their head...and out the other end. Extreme? Sure. But I don't want to have to watch a player be killed on national tv. Think of it as a preventative measure.

How about seeing a player get killed by the sniper by accident! Yes that is extreme. I understand your anger though. These people should get dealt with severely but no guns at sporting events!

While I agree that it's not safe for fans to rush the field/players, I also agree that your solution is a bit extreme. If we start doing snipers, how are we any different from other militant nations in the world? Yes, it would put the fear of death into the fans, but really, can you imagine watching TV and seeing someone's head being blown off? And if you allow this sniper thing at games, it may get out of control and who's to say where it will stop? The next thing you know, we'll be like Mexico, where the police walk around the streets with heavy duty weapons to enforce the laws. No thank you...
