FWIW, most soccer stadiums in Europe prohibit the sale of alcohol.

AFAIK the issue is not beer as alcohol but beer in glass bottles or cans that can get turned into improv weapons.

Which is why somehow we managed to figure that out by using plastic cups and aluminum bottles like... decades ago?

Every arena I've ever been to in Europe (were in fact loads of them sell alcohol) serve beer in plastic cups.

Toilet Rascal
You can buy beer at football games here in the UK but you can’t take it from the concourse to watch the match with. Hence people necking 4 quick pints at half time before going back to their seat. I think it’s an FA rule that you can’t drink in sight of the pitch.

In fact I think at Blackpool FC there’s a hotel at the ground that fans can stay in which overlooks the pitch but you can’t watch the match from your room in case you have a drink. That might be an urban legend but it’s stupid enough to be true.

That’s interesting. In Seattle at Mariners games I believe beer is served in cans and plastic cups. Could huck a can at the field but imagine that would result in instant arrest and lifetime ban, like that dude in Toronto a few years back.

Not sure about how drinks are served at Seahawks stadium but last time I went folk were out of their minds drunk to the point where it felt like a terrible bar indifferent to over service. No objections to someone having a beer with the game but that was no fun.

I don't even want to think about how much stadium beer in Denmark costs.

At least in Barcelona, they still serve NA beer in cups like you suggested. But this leads me to believe it's specifically to avoid having a bunch of people getting trashed at the game, although there's nothing stopping you from getting housed beforehand.

For sure and there’s a reason MegaCorps make bored employees sit through anti-harassment training for half an hour each year then get everyone’s signature that they won’t commit hate crimes on the clock. Of course it doesn’t eliminate the problem but does create a paper trail that it isn’t condoned. They don’t give the green light for hate speech as holy cow the liability for that blanket approval.

Someone that goes through that process and serves in that capacity likely has keen insights about the corrupting nature of power and what happens when the state bends its own rules to protect malignant individuals. Thats exactly the background I would want to see handling this case, as opposed to someone that did white collar prosecutions or bog regulatory work.

Can't really determine much. This all likely happened because the AG, a political appointee of his boss intending to run for re-election, is managing a case against a now-declared opponent. That's pretty icky when phrased that way and it's accurate! It makes sense that a special counsel removes that weird appearance as much as possible.

Everything past that point is anyone's guess. AG wouldn't have appointed a Special Counsel this late if he wanted everything wrapped up quick. The SC has already given a "I'm not slowing anything down" statement, but it's not like SCs move fast.
