Impressionable utes weren't the only ones watching when Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini (right) passed out victory cigars and then lit up after his team clinched the NL Central title at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.

Also watching at home on television were at least five whistle-blowers who noted that the Reds were violating Ohio's indoor-smoking ban. They called Cincinnati's health department to report the team and now the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the club is under investigation.

Heard this on the radio this morning. WTF is wrong with people? This is an example if the direction we are headed as a society, and what is honestly ruining this once truly great nation. They have no problem with the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol, which has a much greater likelihood of causing physical harm, due to the impairment it affords. But light up a victory cigar, and NO, the f'in tattletale nannies have to get all up in arms about it. They can GFT, as far as I'm concerned.

Its called the pussification of America folks. Get ready because it's only getting worse.

How sad is it that some people got on their case over a celebratory smoke. :-)

The owner has good taste in cigars though :-)

Best possible comment above. Why can't adults make adult decisions anymore? Big Brother has to enforce helmet laws, seatbelt laws, smoking bans, what's next?

Unfortunately they are now trying to step in and control what people eat.

I wonder if I turn my balls in now I'll get a tax credit...:-)
[Reply]

Nope, you'll be taxed by the state and government, not credited!

Soon they'll ban salt. They are already taxing pop & fast food in some areas. "Sin" taxes they call them. Unbelievable.

Plus the Hazardous Materials Disposal and abatement fee.

I loved this comment:
"Maybe they should have celebrated with a rousing yet civil game of Monopoly "
