Last month I put up a post about how annoying champagne goggles are and earlier this week I was contacted by an Associated Press reporter about the story. I was interviewed for about 15 minutes for a story that was published tonight. Here is the quote from the story:
“I guess it was funny when they first poured Champagne on somebody, but it’s just too prepared, too scripted now,” says Matt O’Donnell, a high school history teacher and baseball fan in Sebastopol, Calif. “The way they have the plastic tarps all laid out in the locker room, and they have the goggles already set up there.”
O’Donnell, 39, is an ardent Boston Red Sox fan (his 4-year-old son’s middle name is Fenway, after Fenway Park.) “Please, No More Champagne Goggles!” he pleaded on his baseball blog in September, when his team was about to clinch a playoff spot.
After every big victory, he complained, the plastic sheets go up, “and then a few players will put on the readily available ridiculous looking champagne goggles and begin spraying their teammates. A manager or coach will inevitably be sprayed with bubbly … and the perpetrator will think it is the funniest thing ever. Yawn.”
