WDIV (Detroit) ^ | September 23, 2015

The Minnesota Vikings announced plans on Tuesday to become the first franchise to install lactation suites for nursing mothers in an NFL stadium.

The team will install two Mamava lactation suites at its temporary home stadium of TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis by its home game with the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 18, according to a statement released by the team.

Another two of the suites will be installed at the Vikings' training facility and headquarters in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie and in the team's downtown Minneapolis office.

First Glance, my brain registered, “Vikings to install breastfeeding suits at stadium.”

WTF?

Oh, suites. Stupid, but it makes a little more sense.

WT ???

OK ... I'm trying to picture this ...

A nursing lady, SO into football, takes her nursing child (who probably wants to sleep after "eating"), breaks away from 4th and goal to nurse ... the excitement, commotion, din of the crowd ... on a one year old ...

HOW MANY OF THESE LUNATICS SHOW UP FOR A BALL GAME AND DEMAND A NURSING "POD" ?

“lactation suites for nursing mothers in an NFL stadium.”

Those were actually mens rooms but Vikings fans are known to pee sitting down...

"The team said it is also exploring a nursing area that will allow mothers to stay connected to the game while nursing."

Stay connected to the game? I assume that means watching the game on a television?

Same here. I was thinking something like, "Wow, the Vikings just aren't fierce as they were in olden days".

I assume it refers to fans attending the games, not limited to families of players.

Vikings? Can't they nurse in the cold blast like the real Vikings?

Elect anyone other than Trump or Cruz and we will have another century of this bullcrap. Endless victim groups demanding unlimited consolations. 10 years from now we will have seventy different bathrooms to choose from in every football stadium.

That's just like handicapped parking spaces at the entrance to a fifty-mile bicycle trail. WTF?

A joke from FReeper Lucky9teens every Friday:***Offical Friday Silliness Thread*** (A Don’t miss every Friday!!)


A man was riding a bus, minding his own business, when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breastfeed her baby.

The baby wouldn’t take it, so she said: “Come on, eat it all up or ... I’ll have to give it to this nice man here.”

Five minutes later, the baby was still not feeding, so she said, “Come on, honey. Take it or I’ll give it to this nice man here.”

A few minutes later, the anxious man blurted out: “Come on, kid. Make up your mind! I was supposed to get off four stops ago!”
