Straw that's breaking my back :)

Ok,

In return for MN ponying up a half a billion $$ for the football stadium, the NFL decided to hold the SB here in 2018.

After the dust setteled, we found out about some of the terms
- 400-500 cars and trucks for use during the festivities ( no mention of 'rental')
- ATMs changed over ( or replaced ) to feature NFL connections
- and a bunch more

Today, I read about something so petty that it amazed me.
- They want to get some volunteers to do some kind of public glad handing
during the event. Volunteers as in unpaid. They will supply training ( I think
it's a day long class) for enthusiastic folks.

In case you're wondering if they'd be able to see the game, well no. There was a notice that it would not involve anything inside the stadium. Also, winter uniforms of some sort would be provided.

So, I'm guessing that they want to get a bunch of (enthusiastic) saps to work outside during the game.

I wouldn't go anywhere near these guys with a baby holding candy.

Watching guys in tights grapple each other is big business.

Shows how powerful and influential the NFL is. It's pure money and nothing else.
