OT: Hot Dogs and Communists

PrintSo the Natinals made a decision this year to stop having vendors hawking hot dogs in the stands during games. You can only buy a hot dog from one of the food court vendors. They still have 100s of people running around selling beer, peanuts, even little pizzas, but no dogs.
Word I received was that this is deliberate effort to get people to have to leave their seats so that they would be tempted to buy more food. This seems completely wrong, why are they messing with the fabric of the game?!!
I'm all for capitolism, but capitolistic efforts that endanger the American way of life are the tools of communists and cowards. The Natinals are communists, that is why they removed the 'o' from those jerseys, just like they have removed the 'o' pportunity for me to enjoy a dog and a beer without having to leave my f'in seat.
This is why the nats are losers (that and their record).
Anybody else seeing this at other parks? Trying to decide if I'm being irrational or if i should continue my plan to sell black market dogs at the stadium ..."hey you, kid... want a weenie?"

capitolism
is that when a legislative body regulates an economic system?
maybe this guy is way ahead of his time and we just can’t recognize his genius yet
Capitolism
That’s when you can only buy hot dogs if congress is in session.

would socialism in this sense be
every1 gets a little bit of hot dog but it costs more to get in and if you want more it costs a ton?
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
Is this a joke?
I really hope this is a joke….
What I got from this was ‘Communists make you get up and buy hot dogs from food court vendors, but this is America, we don’t do that’
It's a wry commentary on Orwell's
‘Animal Farm’. You see, the pigs were Communists, and hot dogs come from pigs. Are they trying to save the pigs in our nation’s capital?
Adam Dunn is a front.

I’m pretty sure you are going get arrested and I doubt they are going to let you sale black-market hot dogs.
I was worried that you didn’t know how to spell ‘Nationals’, but then you explained that you intentionally took the ‘o’ out. I guess you took the ‘o’ out and put it in the word capitalism. My question is, what have done with the ‘a’?
I too am in favor of capitalism. I think what the Nationals are doing is capitalism at its very finest, supply and demand. I would be pissed as well, but I don’t think this is the route to take. I would ask this, what business are the Nationals in? By encouraging people to leave their seats they are encouraging people to miss the game. They have put the selling of food over the selling of the baseball on the field.

Yep.
Actually kinda clever, I thought. Unfortunately that was the first and last clever part of the fanpost.

"Capitolism"
An economic system marked by domed buildings?

Just to help this post continue desolving into inanity:
They still have 100s of people running around selling beer, peanuts, even little pizzas, but no dogs.
I took that to mean that while hundreds of people are running (running, mind you), around selling things, no dogs are working as vendors/hawkers.

i live peanuts from the venders
those things last half the game and you can always watch milton bradley’s kids pelt the all time leader in strike outs with them for a couple innings…
sorry that last part was a flashback, ignore that part.
