ESPN Investigates Stadium Food with Disastrous Consequences

by Jeremiah Tittle

This story can not be more disturbing, but it is a reality. The food served in stadiums is reliably toxic. As if paying the exorbitant costs for the tickets, the parking, and the concessions wasn’t bad enough. Insult has been added to injury with the e coli to prove it.

While Sports Fans Coalition continues to bring to light the overwhelming number of abuses sports franchise owners, leagues, and organizations wreak upon their fanbases, it’s often about money. SFC follows the money to discover that those in power all too often pull a bait-and-switch with our tax dollars to fatten their pockets, build luxurious new stadiums crying ‘victim’ all the way to the bank.

Last night at the book release party for BAD SPORTS: How Owners Are Ruining The Games We Love, the author SFC board member Dave Zirin mentioned that the inspiration for the book came from Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder. Amongst the many abuses to DC sports fans, Snyder is guilty of being so money-hungry that his idea to begin selling beer INSIDE FedEx stadium restrooms is a clearly disgusting violation of health codes.

Kudos to our friends at Outside the Lines on ESPN for investing the time and energy to investigate this new abuse of sports fans. Sports fans deserve better.
