Gov. Sanders to heat-stricken, dehydrated hog fans: let them drink toilet water
Stadium runs out of water while Sarah complains about booze and Bryan runs Parks Dept. into the ground
On Saturday Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium hosted the Arkansas Razorback football team’s season opener. It was a scorcher, as most would expect for a late summer game in Central Arkansas. But Gov. Sanders and First Gentleman Bryan Sanders (appointed interloper for the “Natural State Advisory Council”) were chumming it up with Parks Department heads instead of ensuring the stadium had enough water for its under-capacity fanbase.
Sanders and co. rolled into the game just before they made their on-field appearance to tout the stadium’s 75th anniversary while holding a pointless, shiny plaque. Meanwhile, dehydrated fans were passing out from lack of water, making EMTs work harder than the players for game’s duration.
Saturday’s literal hot mess was entirely preventable. The lack of water, understaffed concessions, cash-only lines, and general disarray can only be attributed to the Park’s Department and its fearless leader, nepo-baby Bryan.
In 2017, War Memorial’s independent commission merged with the Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. This year— just months into her tenure as governor— Mike Mills, the Sanders-appointed director for the department, abruptly resigned from his post. Emails indicated Mills was ousted because Bryan had beef with the director despite Mills’ excellent credentials.
The First Gentleman oversees the state’s “Natural State Initiative,” which according to the Governor’s website, aims to “establish Arkansas as a leader in the outdoor economy and a destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.”
A stellar way to solidify Arkansas as destination for parks and tourism would be to lockdown some f*@$king water for the first Razorback game of the season.
We’re looking forward to reading the Council’s recommendations for keeping people alive at subsequentt events under Bryan’s leadership.
