Miserable Marci’s Monday Rant – women and children first.

I went to the Buffalo Bills game yesterday, which was amazing. But one thing that WAS NOT amazing was getting into the stadium. Sure, there will always be a lot of people waiting to get into a large sporting event, but at the Bills stadium they make men and women separate to go into the stadium.

What year is this? I mean I can see that they don’t want a big lawsuit for a security man poppin’ a feel on some lady Bills fanatic, but honestly most of the people going in there are so drunk they wouldn’t know the difference. Instead, they have ONE WOMAN guard to search every single female entering through that specific gate.

This system is flawed for many reasons. The first being that if you are in a group with both men AND women (gasp!), you have to separate and lose each other through the crowd in order to get in the stadium. I for one found that irritating. After successfully making our way through the parking lot with our group intact, despite pausing constantly to yell praises of fans wearing jerseys that matched our own, or to be utterly confused about the guy in the Eagles shirt, we were forced to separate right before we made it to our destination.

Another reason the system is STUPID is the fact that they only have one woman guard at each gate. And like, five male guards. And since a lot of women actually go to Bills games, this means all the men get to enter the stadium rather quickly, while the women’s line goes back and back and back and CAT FIGHTS ensue as the ladies vie for position on line.

And Buffalo women are tough cookies. Putting a bunch of drunk Buffalo ladies into an essential bottleneck where they are constantly getting shoved into the person in front of them is just asking for a fight to break out. It’s like dangling meat in front of two pitbulls. Or letting Michael Vick dogsit.

It just doesn’t make sense. Ralph Wilson, I know when you were young girls weren’t even allowed to go to school and electricity wasn’t invented yet, but please change this security policy!

I mean, it probably wouldn’t bother Hasidic Jews so much, but since their numbers in Buffalo aren’t so high, maybe the Bills shouldn’t be so uptight about male guards checkin’ out the ladies.

End rant.
