It's A-Rod's Fault

I knew nothing but trouble would result when the world found out that Alex Rodriguez takes women on dates to strip clubs. Taking a woman on a date to strip club is one of the corniest things a man could do and I feared A-Rod's embrace of the dating "strategy" would re-popularize this plague on womankind. You just have to generally question a man who thinks that is okay. Surely a man that would do something so ridiculous might generally lack judgment.

Predictably, this leads us to the latest in the adventures of Adam "Pacman" Jones. Jones is wanted for questioning after a shooting incident at Club Blaze, a strip club in a less than desirable Atlanta neighborhood (near the federal penitentiary!).

Apparently, the shooting stemmed from a dispute over a woman. A woman was with Jones' group when another man approached the woman and asked her for a lap dance. The man did not know that the woman wasn't a dancer and Jones' and his friends didn't take kindly to the insinuation.

It is typically a no brainer to distinguish a female patron from an exotic dancer. So, I have to wonder what was really going on. First of all, how could a woman be insulted to be assumed to be a stripper inside a strip club?! Actually, isn't that some sort of backhanded compliment, lol? And one of the unspoken rules of being a female patron in a strip club is that you don't go in another woman's place of business and carry yourself like the competition. Was the woman dressed and/or behaving like a stripper inside the club? It wouldn't surprise me at all if she turned out to be a stripper herself that maybe someone in the group had picked up from another club earlier in the night.

So, because Pacman Jones or someone in his group took a woman on a date to the strip club, mess got started. And Jones is involved in yet another violent altercation. Thus, Jones sabotages any possibility of being reinstated early from his NFL suspension for good behavior. Nothing good comes from taking dates to the booty club.

I think Jones' only hope is to apply for some sort of disability exemption from the NFL. Obviously, the call to the strip club is strong for him. One too many drinks or one too many lap dances, Jones has an addiction. Is it his fault he was raised in Atlanta? Even A-Rod didn't grow up with the temptation of so many high quality, all-nude strip clubs. According to this news report, Pacman can't help himself when it comes to getting "drunk and belligerent" at strip clubs that he's already been arrested at before.

It can't be repeated enough. Pacman's situation just goes to show, once again, that nothing good comes from taking dates to strip clubs. I hope others will heed the lesson before this pandemic gets out of hand. The suffering has already begun.
