Northwestern to have Peanut free games this year at FB and hoops games.

This is the way things are heading. They are talking about banning peanuts and peanut butter in the school district here....even in lunches students bring from home.

His son was resigned to the fact he wouldn't get to see a Northwestern game in person because he has these allergy problems and life threatening concerns

Not familiar with peanut allergies...is it not possible for them to attend the game and just avoid peanut products?

The lamest overused phrase on this site. Kill yourself.

This is a harsh translation of the real problem.

"Catering to the minority" (at the expense of the majority)

The United States can essentially now be described using the following:

100 people exist who want ice cream. 95 want Chocolate. 5 want Vanilla. All 100 of us are forced to eat vanilla because otherwise, 5% of the group would be offended and not get what they want.

Some have it so bad that even peanut dust from shells blowing in the wind will kill them. Or even shaking the hand or touching someone who ate or touched peanuts can be enough to kill.

You are so terrible

Has there been some insanely high increase in the number of peanut allergies?

I would actually love it if a SEC team did this just for the outrage and anger from the slack-jawed, mouth breathing, knuckle-draggin, booger eating conservatives.

Stay classy. You sure are a shining example of the other side of the coin.

My son has tree but allergies and being within 3 feet of them cause a reaction. For my nephews it can cause death if the eat one peanut it is very serious and I applaud anyone willing to treat this allergy as serious.

I was actually giving the to dickheads that would have a problem with this.

I had to take a sisters friend to the hospital once just b/c she ate a salad that had touched pine nuts. Whoever made it at the restaurant had put them on and then remembered it was supposed to come w/o them. Instead of making a new salad they just picked the nuts out.

shite damn near killed the poor girl.

fricking stupid
