As an Eagles fan, I'd appreciate if they don't use our name in their sniper nest. If they could call it something more Cowboys appropriate like a trash nest, or little bitch nest, that would be great.
Hell ya dude. That sports group scores points WAY better than the second organization you mentioned. Whenever they compete, I loudly encourage those ones to accrue points just as you surely do. Teams, am I right?
Go sports!
Disagree, first organization is shady and just hires the best people with money, which is unfair. You should support organization C which might not accrue as many points but has the moral upper hand.
Everyone loves the official snipers, but when I tell them I'm a freelance sniper, they get all upset.
OP, let's not be funny, we know exactly how you feel about it
You're a mentally well adjusted human
Unlike the people who thought this is normal behaviour
It makes me slightly uneasy and sad that this is done for big events, but I also understand why.
I think the knowledge just saps some of the frivolity from what is otherwise a fun, low-stakes outing.
I kinda hate to be this guy, but:
Know this does not exist in any other country
It is unnecessary in any other country
America has entirely constructed its own hell by simply not applying the same appropriate gun control you see in every other developed nation in the world
Edit: and I know you probably agree with me, but goddamn you've just collectively proven as a nation that over half your countrymen will bazooka their feet and the feet of everyone unfortunate enough to be near them, before even contemplating the idea of supporting someone who promises to make their lives better!
That's not true,
As example, 2 years ago I was in Strasbourg for the winter markets and saw 2 things:
I saw similar on foot squads in Germany too.
100%
It's a response to an entirely self-inflicted problem.
That's Lucas Oil Stadium where the Indianapolis Colts play. That specific picture is from Super Bowl XLVI which took place in 2012. There was another sniper and spotter in the opposite corner.
But as others have said, most major events, including every regular NFL game have snipers in attendance.
They also have cops dressed up at fans to see if they can get through security checkpoints. They'll have the wrong ticket, play dumb, or try to sweet talk guards to get to places they shouldn't. An IRL pen test.
An IRL pen test.
It's referred to as "physical pen testing"
“physical pen testing”
oh I've seen that on the ButtSharpies subreddit
I forgot about that, thanks for the reminder
My pens come pre-tested :(
and people are angry at this... props to these procedures cause if we didn't have them it would be a nightmare
I was at a Virginia Tech football game this season. They let everyone in, all while the metal detectors are flashing non-stop. A school that had a mass shooting not all that long ago where over 30 people died doesn't give a shit what you bring into that stadium. But hey, they've got snipers above the press box.
Not abnormal? Just because a thing exists somewhere it doesn't immediately make it normal.
"Hey everyone, I saw this video online and apparently it's normal to shit in your own mouth now".
Is this real?
It seems so. Here’s an article with some more information and a higher resolution image (though the image still looks like CGI to me).
Every major gathering has stuff like this behind the scenes. Not just in America.
It'd probably usually only be for high profile diplomatic/political events, or when a threat is specifically called in, outside of America, not just your average sports team needs a sniper on thier payroll 😅
Something about a sniper in Dallas sounds familiar...
He is perched at the top of a grassy bowl.
Can they sell the name to a brand for advertisement?
"The stadium sniper is presented to you by Bud Light!"
When the culture you create turns you coward this is how you react instead of fixing the causes. Fucking ignorant cowards…
This is how you can tell the national character is terminally diseased. If you really think you need this then you should realized you don't need the sports activity nor the stadium. Just go live in a buried sewer concrete pipe because this is where you belong.
Plus, a literal underground rave is going to be a much better time than a sporting event, as well as having better people.
Those fuckers volunteer for this shit
This... sounds wrong. You'll need a source for that there comment sir
Too bad it doesn't help them play any better.
Is it me or is Costco not safe? I wish they had a sniper. Walmart needs a MOAB with a guy and a hammer 🔨⚒️ on the ready. Much safer.
I assumed pretty everyone at Walmart is carrying from the looks of 'em
That's what the funny red light on my forehead was for!
That’s a hell of a job.
