Busted! Reds reported after smoking victory cigars in clubhouse

Barcode · 10-01-2010, 05:17 AM

Impressionable utes weren't the only ones watching when Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini (right) passed out victory cigars and then lit up after his team clinched the NL Central title at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.

Also watching at home on television were at least five whistle-blowers who noted that the Reds were violating Ohio's indoor-smoking ban. They called Cincinnati's health department to report the team and now the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the club is under investigation.

Best possible comment above. Why can't adults make adult decisions anymore? Big Brother has to enforce helmet laws, seatbelt laws, smoking bans, what's next?

Unfortunately they are now trying to step in and control what people eat.

Soon they'll ban salt. They are already taxing pop & fast food in some areas. "Sin" taxes they call them. Unbelievable.

Don't joke. NY state is trying to make it so restaurants can't use salt when prepping food.

Sadly so can I.

It seems to be a "lost art" right now.

Amazing how people somehow find the time to look for these silly things....a simple victory celebration turned into something else...

That's re-godamn-diculous! People don't have anything better to do then this kind of crap!

At least they were smoking good cigars. Liga Privada #9's

I'm sorry but this **** has gotten way out of control...

Heard this on the radio this morning. WTF is wrong with people? This is an example if the direction we are headed as a society, and what is honestly ruining this once truly great nation. They have no problem with the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol, which has a much greater likelihood of causing physical harm, due to the impairment it affords. But light up a victory cigar, and NO, the f'in tattletale nannies have to get all up in arms about it. They can GFT, as far as I'm concerned.

Ya I know right. Tax me for Ball removal, then tax me for turning them in, then another tax for disposal like replicant_argent said. And dont forget each will be taxed both local, state and federal. Then to boot politicians will say its for the kids...
