Fresh off Sunday night’s taser-fueled fan violence at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, the NFL will conduct pat downs from the ankles up this season.
In the past, the pat downs went from the waist up.
“The enhanced security procedures recommended by our office before the start of the season will further increase the safety of fans but will require some additional time,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told USA T0day in a statement Thursday. “We encourage fans to come early, enjoy their tailgating tradition, and be patient as they enter the stadium.”
Things have changed. We're one step away from waterboarding Saints fans just for showing up. Not that it's entirely without precedent. At one point, the same fans were actually made to sit and watch Heath Shuler play football.
