Most schools couldn't even afford to have a scoreboard without coke

Yup... Our high school had offers for years for coke to pay for lights on our baseball field but the principal didn't want ads on the outfield fence. As soon as he resigned, those lights went up and things improved drastically.... Too bad I was gone by that point.

So the frick what???? Seriously....what difference would it make??? Here's an idea...maybe...just maybe...local businesses would have a chance to do some advertising at the games when Coke is no longer around.


But hey, I see the point...the tyranny of government is all over us...the man has his foot on our neck dammit. Why limit advertising to just Coke? Why shouldn't Jim Beam or the local selazy porn theater be allowed to place their ads all over schools also? I can easily see a community warmly embracing the local Asian Rub and Tug joint when they foot the bill for the new message sign in front of the local high scholl replete with an image of the school mascot and the King Asian Spa logo....
