So, field lights and bleachers can save her from being a drunk? Solly Mack Sep 2020 #10
Well, save her until her son gets sick. Then it's a new reason to drink. Nevilledog Sep 2020 #15
I suspect she drinks in the bleachers and under the bleachers as well. Solly Mack Sep 2020 #16
I wonder if anyone's ever drank bleach in and/or under the bleachers? Blue Owl Sep 2020 #19
Don't know but I think it more likely than I care to imagine. Solly Mack Sep 2020 #20

“They should have spent Friday night under the lights (on the playing field).

Instead, I sat the whole night in a bar, drinking. That’s no way for a mother to be”.

( very rough translation- my head hurt From the stupidity and I couldn’t play it again)

She did say she would rather be at the game and that players should be under the Friday night lights.

instead watching football from the bleachers. Believe it or not she ended with "that's not a way for a mom to be", lol.

Kids deserve a chance to play under the Friday night lights (football) and that instead of watching a game on Friday she sat at a bar “soaking my sorrows, and that is no way for a mom to be”.

Apparently it is unreasonable to expect to try to protect kids from Covid because of you take high school football away from moms they will have no choice but to resort to alcoholism.

There's a solution there that doesn't require sports.
