this part is just not true. The players are locked in a protected cage and fed any number of drugs (at least they were. In the novel "North Dallas Forty" the protagonist complained about the o-line because they all took speed, but were so poorly trained on doing it they tended to peak a few hours after the games). Whether the behavior of players in the confines of the team relationship is objectionable strikes me as the same question Colonel Jessup posed in a Few Good men.
The fans otoh are out of control. I took my kids to a few Lions game and we sat in the Club Level. Even that was drunken ugly. Two games and I was out of ever doing that.
they sell beer and booze way too freely. In fact, there is little else to buy. What percentage of commercials are for beer during an average NFL game? The drunken fans are a result of the teams and the league wanting to ring that cash register.
