I was at the Point in the late 90's/early 2000's for beer and nachos after a game down in Oakridge.
They had MMA on the projection screen in the front room. Somehow my team ended up seated next to two older couples (I'm guessing they were in their 60's) When the waitress came to check on us, one of the women interrupted her taking our orders and demanded that they "stop showing such filthy pornography on the TV. Surely there's hockey or curling on somewhere!!!"
The waitress bless her, told them they were welcome to move to the back where other sports were on the TV's and that Saturdays were always MMA on the projection screen.
These couples were outraged at the suggestion and demanded to speak to the manager. The manager and waitress both came back with trays and offered to move them to a table in the back. The couples were still outraged and were demanding a discount on their bill for having to go through the trial of watching "pornography" in a public place and for being moved.
I don't know how that all played out, but did my teammates ever laugh about the situation!
