On the news this morning, Robin Meade had a story about a woman who wasn't allowed to bring her iPad into Yankee Stadium since it is considered a laptop, which are not allowed in the stands. Robin claimed that the iPad is NOT a laptop and if iPhones are allowed inside iPads should be too (since, really folks, iPads are just a ginormous iPhone).
While watching, I wasn't firm on one side or the other. Instead, I was thinking about something more.....well, indifferent. I was wondering why anyone would NEED to bring an iPad or any other "laptop" to Yankee Stadium, or any other stadium for that matter? Yes, the Boston Red Sox allow laptops in their stadium. But why would you want to? You paid for tickets to see a LIVE baseball game as well as a $10 hot dog and $20 beer. Wouldn't you want to enjoy the beauty of America's pastime?
Now you're probably thinking "what about the bloggers, the reporters, the columnists?" USE PAPER!!! Whatever happened to writing something down? Plus, the majority of these fields have contracts with major television networks, radio, and online streaming that the newspapers should just save money and not send a reporter to the field anyway.
Anyway, I'm talking about the average joe. If I went to a game and saw a person typing on a computer during the game, I would take his laptop and chuck it onto the field. And after he cursed at me and asked why I did it, I'd say "If I brought my typewriter and used it during the game, you'd think I'd look dumb too!"
That's it for me!
