Sports Bars Changing Channels For Video Gamers

dtmos wrote in to say that "This summer, StarCraft II has become the newest bar room spectator sport. Fans organize so-called Barcraft events, taking over pubs and bistros from Honolulu to Florida and switching big-screen TV sets to Internet broadcasts of professional game matches. As they root for their on-screen superstars, StarCraft enthusiasts can sow confusion among regular patrons... But for sports-bar owners, StarCraft viewers represent a key new source of revenue from a demographic—self-described geeks—they hadn't attracted before."

    And if you are a "regular" at a sports bar you most likely suffer at least some mild retardation.
    Confusion in the retarded can at times cause them to become violent.
    I understand how the GP feels. Retarded and confused is a tough way to go through life.
    We should understand this as a society and leave the retarded to their "Sports Bars" (It is so cute we call them that.)
    We can pad the walls. Guard the entrance and keep them safe from "outsiders".
