RUSH: For example, the NFL has a Monday night game in Mexico City, the Houston Texans and the Raiders are gonna be playing on Monday night in Mexico City, and the Texans sent a memo to the players. "Houston Texans players are being advised by the team not to leave the hotel and not to order room service during their trip to Mexico City for Monday night’s game against the Oakland Raiders.
"The Associated Press obtained a memo distributed to the team on Wednesday that included a page of information concerning the trip. ... A section of the memo under the heading 'safety' had a bullet point with: 'DO NOT leave the hotel.' It was followed by a line advising players to leave all 'expensive jewelry at home,' not to bring large sums of money and not to use ATMs."
I mean, the image being created here is that they are going into the middle of a crime-infested, sick, diseased area, and you had better come in contact with nobody but other team members. Do not do the ice, do not order room service is another, do not eat the food in the hotel. Only eat your meals in the team meal room.
You know, when teams go to London, I don't think it's true in all cases, but many teams take every bit of food the team eats for whatever number of days there, four or five days. They take their own chefs. And I'm sure they're gonna do the same thing in Mexico City. They ship all the food.
Mexico apparently, one of the real commandments here is not to eat the beef, and the reason for that is that Mexico, in order to the spur the growth of steers, uses a hormone that if found in players disqualifies them. It's a performance enhancing drug type thing. It's called clenbuterol. The memo even stresses this. "Consuming large quantities of meat while visiting those countries may result in a positive test for clenbuterol. The memo told the players to 'please take caution if you decide to consume meat, and understand that you do so at your own risk.'
"Clenbuterol has been banned in Mexico as a growth enhancer for cattle but is suspected," that it's still used by evil cattle ranchers. Of course, by definition, all cattle ranchers are evil 'cause they're destroying the planet. The Raiders did not receive such a memo because of course the Raiders, they feed off poison. I mean, they're the Raiders. And as such they come from the black hole. There's no way to poison 'em because they are poison.
