The U.S. Open has been a hot topic of discussion lately, and it’s not just because of the incredible tennis matches. Oh no, it’s because of something much more sinister and dangerous: the smell of marijuana. Yes folks, you read that right, some players have complained about the smell of weed at one particular court, and it’s causing quite the uproar.
According to one player, the court in question smells “like Snoop Dogg’s living room,” and we all know what that means. Apparently, some tennis fans have decided to indulge in a little recreational smoking while enjoying the matches. How dare they!? This is a tennis tournament, not a Grateful Dead concert.
Of course, the U.S. Open officials are taking this matter very seriously. They’ve even created a task force to deal with the offending smells. Yes, a task force. Because apparently, the smell of weed is such a huge threat to the integrity of the tournament that an entire team of people needed to be assembled to combat it.
I mean, who cares about the actual players and the quality of the matches? Let’s focus on the smell of marijuana instead. Because that’s what really matters here, right?
In all seriousness though, it’s hard to imagine that this is something to get worked up about. Yes, the smell of weed might be a little distracting and unpleasant for some, but it’s hardly a threat to anyone’s safety or well-being.
Plus, it’s not like the players are getting high or anything. They’re just being forced to deal with the stench of a harmless plant. Oh, the horror!
But fear not, dear readers, because the task force is on it. They’re going to sniff out every last joint and eliminate the smell of marijuana from the U.S. Open once and for all. Because that’s definitely a good use of their time and resources.
In the meantime, let’s all just sit back and enjoy the matches. And if you happen to catch a whiff of something suspicious, just remember: it’s not the end of the world. In fact, it might just make the experience a little more interesting.
Who knows, maybe the players will start playing better after a contact high. Or maybe they’ll just become more relaxed and carefree. Either way, it’s not like anyone is getting hurt.
So let’s all take a deep breath (or not, if you’re sensitive to the smell of weed), and relax. The U.S. Open will go on, despite the smell of marijuana hanging in the air. And who knows, maybe it will even become a cherished tradition of the tournament. Stranger things have happened.
