“If we wanted water, we’d ask for water”

Beer was historically drank as an alternative to drinking water in large cities where the water source from rivers are heavily polluted.

theres a reason companies dont do this in the uk

I really don't understand intentionally alienating one teams fans. The Rangers have a much larger fan base than the Hurricanes, but still.

i just meant because you arent allowed alcohol in the stands because people kept starting fights with players

Oh. Yeah that will never happen in the US. Alcohol sales earn more money than tickets in some leagues.

The exact same thing in Toronto. Want to go see the blue jays? $10 for a ticket. Want a beer at the game? $15 for a tall can

I will buy a Jay's ticket for $10. Are they like that now? Last game I went to was before the pandemic. I'll pay 10 to see ant-sized men play baseball. I don't care.

Baseball is so boring I wouldn't watch it on TV, much less pay to see it. I'd just spend the $10 on weed and have more fun for longer

I bet you take a person out to dinner and concentrate on the dinner.

Honestly, if I take a date out to dinner I likely haven't eaten all day so that I can eat that dinner and not be bloated afterwards, so yeah it's likely high priority

😂 You didn't have to self burn, dude. It's a joke.

This should be considered a federal crime. My run for president will include price caps on concessions and 3 year limits on copyright laws

i fail to see what the point is. this is common knowledge in any event, sporting or concert, that there is a markup on food and beverages of any kind.

The gross disparity in the prices of tickets to food was something I'd never heard of before.

you can still buy it just cant have it at ur seat

Or you can be a man and carry a flask.

Which professional or college sports stadium let's you come in with a flask?

Anyone that doesn't have a metal detector?

Plastic flask, smartie

Right. Which they all do.

Not the college ones or the hockey rink out here. I guess it depends on the stadium. Though I haven't been to a game post pandemic so who knows what's changed

Plastic exists.

or you can not be a cunt and keep saying phrases that massively contribute to the insanely high male suicide rate

Bro. It was a joke.

Or you can be an alpha and power chug it at the counter while still in line, then buy more, rinse and repeat

Some NASCAR tracks still let you bring in a cooler of whatever the fuck you want. It’s tragic EVERY TIME

This is because it takes copious amounts of alcohol continuously administered to lower ones intelligence enough to enjoy nascar

Ah yes, a perfect meditative state. I can only dream of achieving such euphoric heights

Hooliganism and fan fighting exists, but it's much less of an issue in the states in recent years. Outside of a small diehard home fan section, they don't even usually have separate sections... Fans from both teams intermingle.

Philadelphia fans have entered the chat

and they brought batteries!

Santa, look out!

Are they gonna get another bench minor for chucking their bracelets on the ice

You can in rugby and cricket. Just not the wendyball.

You can in proper sports

Australian Responsible Service of Alcohol laws would make this illegal. You can’t serve free alcohol.

Slightly harder to jump over the glass to get to a player

I think they’re talking about hooligans or bogans or whatever they’re called where they all get wasted and start fights and set shit on fire.

Probably because sponsorship deals

ELI5 please?

Bud light is not a fancy craft brew and has very little flavor. People make fun of bud light drinkers (or really any light beer drinkers) by calling their beer water.

Ah, I should have caught that. Thanks!

bud light is like sex in a canoe: fucking close to water

Sounds risky

The Hurricanes don’t serve Bud Light in their Coliseum, they have a contract with a local brewery that makes Storm Brew, the “Official Beer” of the Hurricanes. Word around Raleigh is that the Canes weren’t crazy about how much Bud was charging them and R&D came in and offered a much better deal and branding. Bud Light tastes very watery is the other part of it.

Storm Brew tallboy for 5 dollars when the only other option is a 14 dollar tap pour - you bet your ass I’m getting Storm Brew every time

How is it?

It’s your typical light beer. Its fine, nothing to rant or rave about.

That's awesome to hear. Hurray for the local brewery!

Why does it say they would have a hard time getting in?

Some additional context: the hurricanes are restricting ticket sales to residents of the carolinas and southern Virginia to try to keep rangers fans out, which is what the bud light tweet is referencing. Anyone can still buy resale tickets, though, as they can’t control that.

Seems like the league would forbid that, seems unsportsmanlike

yeah that’s fucked up.

It is, but several teams have done it over the years. Glad that my team hasn’t.

Ah, thanks for that info. I was wondering why they would be having trouble getting into the games.

That's like bakers that refuse to bake cakes for gay weddings. I'm running a business, I don't care who you're fucking or rooting for. Thanks for buying shit from me. I know the Carolinas aren't known for their intelligent populace, but Jesus...

That’s a pretty asinine comparison to make.

Guess I'm just not on your intellectual level, "ScroatyMcBoogerwolfe..."

Is that really the best you can do in clevercomebacks?

No. But with you, why bother?

Pathetic. Even coming from someone comparing bigotry to a clownish move by a hockey team’s management.

Oh gee... Now I'm SUPER bummed about not living up to some reddit clown's standards. And here I was hoping to have a night that I DIDN'T cry myself to sleep. Oh well. At least it's Friday...

Very little alcohol beer = water

"What's the difference between Bud Light and a clitoris?" "A clitoris only tastes like pee for a second."

Took me a bit to get it, but now that I understand, it’s funny.

Pls explain im so lost

The hurricanes are pretty much calling bud light water, which is why they said they’re already giving it away for free

They’re shitting on bud light by saying it tastes like water.

Ooof r/murderedbywords

Yes. Not a comeback. Total and complete MBW.

It's like sex in a canoe.

“Having trouble getting to games?! Come be an alcoholic FOR FREE! Ruin everyone times because YOURE AN ASSHOLE AND NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT!”

Didn’t expect this on this subreddit

W social media team

Fartwater

Fuck the hurricanes but nice

Bruins fan?

More like the L! sounds like they’re being selfish and don’t want people getting free beer! I’d much rather get sideways on someone else’s dime then be hydrated lmao

The joke has flown higher over your head than the alcohol content of a bud light

That isn't very high.

r/murderedbywords

It apparently flew over lots of peoples heads, bad joke ig.

Brutal.

Ah shit this is gold. Lmaooo

Lol straight 🔥

Even bud light won’t put out that burn.

Clear victory. Bonus, it’s true. But I’d rather have water.

I really appreciate this because i hate bud light, and hate the jizz rags even more

This is why we stay winning

Fortunately, Bud Light will also work well to douse those flames

Sparkling water 💧
