FIFA Bans Fans From Bringing Water Bottles into Stadiums

Fans heading to games at the World Cup will be banned from taking reusable water bottles into stadiums, a last-minute policy reversal that could add to concerns about heat at this summer's tournament.

FIFA Supremo Carmine Infantino is a %@#*!

"In parts of the southern US, daytime temperatures regularly climb into the mid-80s Fahrenheit and beyond during June and July. The Club World Cup held in the US last summer drew complaints from players and fans about the heat.

"Temperatures at 14 of the 16 stadiums being used for the World Cup could reach levels that pose health risks for players and spectators alike."

Those aluminum bottles an be used as weapons. RoW is insane about their Football and attacking opposing fans.

Good move by FIFA. Of course CornHolio would complain he just bought his $1200 Stanley because he's a corporate whore.

You know, more than once I've seen exactly this as an argument for the 2nd Amendment.

Nice try. The last minute rule change bans "empty, transparent reusable plastic bottles", which were previously permitted.
