THE TAMPA SPORTS AUTHORITY - Let Them Have Some Fun !

All the screaming and yelling about the members of the Tampa Sports Authority receiving Buccaneers tickets, viewing suites, and food and drink is really just a bunch of B.S. This NON-PAID board has a lot of work and responsibility staring at them every day.

Acting as an In the Sunshine organization with almost every type of media attention possible, it seems a little silly that the issue of going to a few football games with a few friends and having some food and drinks is such a big deal. It seems to me that I would rather have them having a good time than have them make some bad decisions costing the county millions of dollars.

It looks like their games and tickets will be limited and forget the liquor and beer, hot dogs are probably in their future. Someone seems to be trying to take the AUTHORITY out of the Sports Authority.

Sports is business, but, it is about the fun and excitement too. Let these members have fun. I am certain when they are at those long, drawn out meetings that they are not being paid for, fun is not what they are having.

Get off their backs, if we are so concerned about them abusing or being so influenced by this perk, then maybe they should not be on the Authority to begin with. This does not seem to be the issue, so let's sit back in our suite, have a drink, and enjoy the game. Gee, seems that is what we want the fans to do ! What do you think ?
