Hey Alex, or someone, if you could post a correction on the front that would be great. We have two links in here that confirm this story is bogus.

Did anyone actually believe this article? You know that no athletic team in their right mind would ban water.

They use the big Gatorade coolers (with the paper cups) for water. Merchandising/sponors bring about some interesting scenarios… like win a driver sponsored by Gatorade won a race that was sponsored by Powerade he threw the celebratory Powerade to the side and gulped down some Gatorade. The sponsors were not amused… we’re talkin’ LimeCat levels of non-amusement here.

Well, Gatorade has electrolytes, and that’s what players crave.

I’m with Edward - I forsee a lot of water in emptied-out Gatorade bottles in the very near future.

Ok that is just downright sick. I would never go along with that. From now on it’s no more gatorade. Never again. I am disgusted.
