Drinking Blame?

Judge John Burlew: “This case upsets me more than anything else, primarily ...with the National Football League. The allegations are that you had a legal substance – alcohol -- in your body, a substance which they advertise from and get money from, millions of dollars a year from...You don't like alcohol, take those Budweiser commercials off TV. Stop selling alcohol in the stadium.”

Judge Burlew is ridiculous. Is NASCAR responsible for alcoholism? They allow commercials and car sponsorships? NASCAR is not responsible. The NFL is not responsible. Fans choose to drink. Thurman chose to drink. Ceasing commercials and stadium sales will solve nothing.
