MMA & Beer

From a fans perspective, the two go hand in hand and sometimes, literally. So last night, I'm off to my MMA workout by visiting the local Beer Store (in Ontario, the liquid of the Gods are not sold in the corner stores) and three dudes stopped me from entering The Beer Store.

Ok, it's some serious ass kickin' time if you want to play me like that so I asked the dude, "What is this?", the guy said they were petitioning for an upcoming Drink Tax in the City of Toronto.

When I heard this, I walked right through them and before I made it through the door, the guy said, "Buddy, we're not FOR the Drink Tax, we're AGAINST it", so he handed me a brochure about the issue and what people can do to avert this nasty action by Toronto City Council.

While in the Beer Store I read the brochure, paid for my 2-4 and walked back out and signed the petition against the proposed Drink Tax.

Why did I sign it? Well, because I respect the passion and committment that these dudes were showing and I don't want to pay any more money for my MMA workout than I have to really. It made sense to me.

To the dudes hanging outside of the Don Mills & The Donway Beer Store... Cheers!
