Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Yep. I've actually heard about this before. My brothers and I tried to have a water-drinking contest when I was little and our parents told us we weren't allowed to do that. I didn't know why at the time, but now I am really thankful that our parents knew about tthis kind of thing.
There was a story like this back in the early 90's in High Times. It was about a lady who was so worried about an upcoming drug test, that she thought if she drank enough water it would "clean her up." She drank something like 3 gallons in a couple hours.
Didn't someone in CO recently drink a lot of water after consuming X?
After reading this article, this contest looked like the perfect setup to induce water intoxication. They should have checked with a doctor before conducting this contest. I wonder if they can be held accountable in any way?
Who would have thought about 'water intoxication', really?
That is very sad, unfortunate, and getting the word out is real important.
I'm a huge water drinker.....I look forward to more information on how
the coroner believes it occurred, as the article stated.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
"When Kepler found his long-cherished belief did not agree with the most precise observation, he accepted the uncomfortable fact. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest illusions; that is the heart of science."
