Two things really bum me out when it comes to football in Los Angeles. First, that we don’t have an NFL team. And second, that USC recently decided to stop selling booze at home football games.

(Sad: Booze-fueled fun with the SbB Girls now extinct at Coli)

Yep, the L.A. Coliseum was one of the last beer bastions of college football, but the school struck down the sale of alcohol three years ago. And in a stunning coincidence, I’ve been to one home game the past two seasons.

So I’ve got to hand it to the fine folks of Hudson, Wis., as they’ve got their priorities in order. My Fox Twin Cities reports today that, “Beer will be sold at a Nov. 22 junior league hockey game in Hudson, Wis. Last month, the city council approved a temporary beer sales license for a Nov. 22 Hudson Hockey Association junior league game. Junior league players range from 16 to 18 years old.”

Beer being sold at youth hockey game? Why, what could possibly be wrong with that?

Besides the increased prospect of underage drinking, and the unchecked epidemic of violence that already seems to plague spectators, coaches and players at youth hockey matches, it’s a fantabulous idea.

More:

According to the Hudson Star-Observer, Hockey Association Arena Management Board chairman Greg Sarno sent a letter to the city requesting approval for beer sales. He said beer sales at games are needed to fund the teams.

Yeah, but what about the offset cost of staffing the game with security? Not to mention the outrageous price of taser guns these days? And of course, the high price of industrial strength cleaning materials for those inopportune yet numerous vomiting episodes sure to ensue?

But what’s an odd fatality here or there if you can raise an extra fity or three for a reconditioned skate sharpener?
