There is simply too much money involved in the NFL and its activities to resist anything it dreams up to desire. If the NFL can get referees to throw pink flags, if they can get the owners to require all persons entering the stadium on game day to use a clear bag of a certain size and nothing else, if the NFL can basically take over a city in the run up to Super Bowl, including all airports in the area, it can do anything. Be glad it hasn't occurred to the NFL to require security officers to wear pink camo. Neither a city nor the state can expect to enforce its law contrary to NFL wishes.
The NFL has barred San Diego from hosting any more Super Bowls until it gets a new stadium, which the Spanos (Charger owners) family wants but is demanding a $600 million slopping at the public trough.
These are among the considerations which have led many in San Diego to holler "Go, Chargers! Go! and take the Padres with ya!"

Re: NFL doesn't want off duty cops carrying
That's not what I said or my friends say. What they told me was they must carry all the time. I imagine it is against policy to be intoxicated, at least publicly.texanjoker wrote:JALLEN wrote:The several San Diego PD officers who were friends of mine often confirmed that they were required to have badge and weapon with them 24/7, drunk, sober, asleep, at Charger games, asleep at Charger games, always.
I believe that SDSO had the same requirement.
Of course, there are fewer than 2,000 CHL permits issued in SD Co.
Actually it is against both those agencies policy to carry while intoxicated. Both do require the carrying of the badge/ID at
I remember the fracus in Del Mar. All the radio talk show hosts went berserk, the Mayor was on the defensive, actually with this "must carry" policy. Roger Hedgecock was particularly vocal. I did not hear how it was resolved.
