If you go to a sporting event, you’re gonna see drunk people. That’s just how it works. Whether it’s a little league game or the World Series, somebody’s gonna be smashed. In the good ole U.S. and A. you’re gonna find America’s Drunkest Fans at football games and NASCAR events.
Here’s an inebriated New Yorker supporting the Jets:

Jeezus.. Why didn’t her man get a handle on her? He’s just sitting there lettin’ her get loaded and go Courtney Love on the stadium… He’s a better dude than me. I once quit seeing a chick because she got tipsy and was really, really, really into the football game.. It was embarrassing, but I was more pissed that I was supposed to be drinking, and she was gonna drive home… Anyways.. On to the NASCAR fans:

There are plenty of stereotypes to draw from the video but the most obvious is that they’re Tony Stewart fans… I feel sorry for that kid. I hope that apple falls as far away from the tree as possible.
Alcohol.. It’s like steroids for hecklers and there’s no better place for fans to juice up than right in the parking lot. A lot of food, plenty of drank, and a video camera are all that you need for a successful tailgate.
Jacksonville Jaguars fans like to kickoff the festivities with some beverages, a fire, and two chicks wrestling a dude.

 People drink in Philly? Which is more of a dead giveaway that this video is early in the season: one guy screaming that the Phils will dominate the NL East or the dude being excited about Brett Myers?

Penn State alumni having a good time. Keep this up and we’ll be seeing the likes of Blair Thomas and Mike McQueary cleaning up outside the stadium.

The U.S. government is notorious for overspending for items such as hammers and toliet seats. While our troops don’t have the proper equipment to fight a war, and cities such as New Orleans and Greensburg, Kansas struggle to receive federal assisstance after natural disasters, Uncle Sam has found a good way to spend 100 million dollars a year… NASCAR.
The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines National Guard all sponsor teams in either the Nextel Cup or Busch Series. Drivers Casey Mears (National Guard), Mark Martin/Regan Smith (Army) and Ken Schrader (Air Force) all race military sponsored cars in the Nextel Cup. Shane Huffman (Navy) races in the Busch Series. No big deal right? Wrong when you consider that the cost of a primary team sponsorhip is getting close to $30mil per year if you believe this article, or close to $20mil per year if you go with this story.
Either way, the United States government shouldn’t be handing out $50-$100mil a year to support Nascar teams. NASCAR gets a ton of eyes focused on it’s products, at the track and on tv, but the declining enlistment rates do more to discourage rather than justify the huge bill being footed by the Gov’t.
