Idiots. Yet another reason to ignore the NFL and concentrate on College Football.

OTOH, if they had the players and cheerleaders doing the patdowns, maybe it wouldn't be so bad

Did anyone think the original ruling would stand for long? At least it didn't get to the Supreme Court, where Scalia could have written about how everyone should get a DNA sample taken for a national database and have a GPS tracking device inserted into their bodies.
