I guess I'm getting old.
I've come full circle on stuff like this. I started dipping at 16 and after going back and forth with it for 25+ years, I finally quit for good about a year and a half ago.
I absolutely, positively started dipping because of baseball.
Long story short, it's just not necessary. It's just not. People that chew and dip need to spit and there's no good place to spit at a ballpark. And yes, as someone who spit in a plastic bottle for the entire time I dipped, I realize it's possible but then you have bottles of spit that often get spilled (I spilled countless myself). If I take my kids to a game and someone spills their spit bottle on/near them, there's going to be a problem. I've seen that happen. As a lifelong dipper and season ticket holder, I don't want to hear or see someone obnoxiously spitting next to me for 3 hours. I see that ALL the time too.
As far as legal weed and beer, I don't have the perfect answer for that (except gimme some) and I don't necessarily disagree. But two (or more) wrongs don't make it right either. Pointing at something else that's bad as justification doesn't lead to getting anywhere. I love having a couple of Stella's at the game, but at the same time, I'd be okay with no beer at a stadium. But do I want to pay more for my tickets for that? No, not really.
