This is why football stadium operations directors should always butter their goal posts.
Climbers.
We’re talking about a guy (drunk 34-year-old) who scaled to the very top of the post at a Hamilton vs. Calgary game this past weekend.
If you think dropping posts is dangerous, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Premise of Video: (from vlogger) Sorry so shaky! I was really cold. Guy who climbed goal post at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Calgary Stampeders game, Sept. 18 at Ivor Wynne.
Climax of Video: The very beginning. Um, son, you might want to quit drinking, taking drugs, etc. The tightrope walk on the goal post is very impressive, too.
Conclusion: This guy must have ruled gym class rope climbing contests.
The local media was all over this one, even getting this comment from a police officer.
Her son would’ve never forgotten this game.
“Mom, remember that time I asked to see an NFL game and you took me to the Hamilton game instead?”
“You’re the best mom ever!”
Is there a CFL protocol for handling games where a guy fell to his death after climbing goal posts?
“We’d have to suspend play and then make a determination of how we’re going to handle it,” (an official) says.
Yeah, this would probably create some interesting issues, like how to handle the psyche of the quarterback after watching a guy plummet. And the cheerleaders.
You’d need to bring in counselors.
Just so many issues. Our solution. Butter your goal posts.

thought i’d seen it all. this guy has taken streaking to a whole new level.
First off, how many Molson(s) did this dunderhead drink before deciding to be more/less interesting than a CFL game? However, with his pole-skills it means one of two things: He’s stroked a lot of pole in his day or he’s a first class fireman. I have my guess.
The cops have been less threatened by donut shops than they were by this guy. Watch for a Ryan Leaf mugshot out of Canada

So you’re saying it’s possibly Ryan Leaf crying out for help?
I love it.
Guy looked in way better shape than Leaf.
