Beware of Boobs at Jets Games

Posted Nov 20, 07 3:42 PM CST in US,  Sports 

(Newser) – At Giants Stadium for Sunday's Jets game, some fans had expectations of more than the upset they got from their team: an informal "halftime show" of a few temporarily topless women. The Times reports on a years-old tradition of fans congregating around the spiral Gate D pedestrian ramp to chant and encourage women to expose themselves.

Women who don't oblige can be the target of boos, spit, and trash. Stadium security does nothing to stop the ritual: Guards are within their rights to break up the crowds and even detain the rowdiest, but they say the huge crowds make that difficult: “What do we do, arrest everybody that starts chanting?” asks the head of stadium security. The state police say the situation is in security's hands.

    Lions Could Be Historically Bad “Worst. Team. Ever.” Get ready, Detroit fans, “because the angle isn’t going away,” writes Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News. The Lions are used to losing, but yesterday’s embarrassing 47-10 thrashing on national TV surely represented a new low, making the Lions’ putridity common knowledge. “This was more pitiful than laughable,” says Wojinowski, and “unfortunately, there’s no end in sight.” More »
