Just curious: anybody know?
Does the current established player contract require alcohol distribution from teams? As far as I’m aware, every single team has a free, self serve bar for players and provides during flights. This is knowledge passed on from somebody who was in the league during the 80s thru the 00s.
Could teams remove player/employee access to alcohol if they wanted?
Could teams bar players and other team individuals from consuming alcohol “during work hours” or “on premises”?
I’m guessing they cannot, or we would have heard about it occurring. Or maybe it does occur, but due to sponsorship type stuff, we never hear about it.
As an owner, my rule would be very clear and start on day one of the season: in a playoff spot? Let the booze flow. Outside looking in? None. Entirely too many players end up in alcohol related incidents and alcohol is by far the worst consumer product to fill a bunch of professional athletes apart from silly stuff like feeding them nails or bleach. Every other consumable “substance”, including -all- of the illegal ones, does less damage to a pro athletes body and mind, altho some aren’t far behind, whether that be from how body processes sugar, the after effects of consumption, the effects of consumption, and it’s addictive qualities.
