This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

This is going to come across as harsher than I intend it by Catdog2
but for fans that want to have a pleasant conversation during a game, you can do that at home on your couch.
I'm all for inviting kids to games, and I admit that I have sensitive ears as a kid as well. But a football game is a place where the sensitive kiddos just need to get over it as they do in every other stadium. You don't go to a concert and then complain about the noise.
Games are supposed to be loud and fans are supposed to yell.
The tron is definitely not THAT loud.
The biggest issue with it is the broadcasting of the team prayer, which is super lame for reasons which have already been posted here, and the risk of whoring it out to corporate advertisers.
