You Can't Coach That

Pies to be banned at the football?

A nutritionist in Australia has called for the meat pie to be banned at football matches. Apparently UK soccer clubs Arsenal and Glasgow Celtic have already replaced pies with healthier alternatives. For American readers banning the pie at footy games would be like banning hot dogs at baseball games (a pie in Australia is a hot meat and gravy filled pastry).

What a ridiculous notion. People cannot be protected from themselves no matter how hard we try. Banning something is seldom the answer to a problem.

Anyway, I’m off to have a pie and chips (french fries) for dinner.

“You can’t coach that”

The saying is something like, “American as baseball, hotdogs and apple pie”.

Don’t be messin’ with my hotdog.

In Australia it goes like, “football, meatpies, kangaroos and Holden cars” I do like baseball, hotdogs and apple pie though.
