FLUSHING, NY – In the long, storied history of sports there has also been an equally long, storied history of bathroom lines and fans’ bodily function foibles. Off the top of my head, I can recall a Mets/Giants game at Shea back in the late ’70s when my big brother spent the entire contest throwing up in the box seat level bathrooms. I remember thinking that the condition of those restrooms alone were enough to make one barf, and wondered if I would ever see him again. But I digress. Along with the installations of the first ballpark lavatory and the first vomitorium at the Colosseum in ancient Rome, there have been several notable advancements in the field of sports-related scatology along the way.
Most recently we’ve seen the indispensable Stadium Pal which allows guys the convenience of urinating without having to leave their seats. Not wanting to leave the ladies out of the picture, there was soon a Stadium Gal, for women who yearn to pee in the middle of the action.
Shortly thereafter, golfers had their own tool for avoiding the worst kind of water hazard. Yes, with the glorious Uro Club, duffers everywhere can now keep things country club chic when they relieve themselves in the great outdoors. As this commercial attests, the Uro Club is the only club in your bag guaranteed to keep you out of the woods.
Now that these fantastic inventions have changed sports, as we know them, forever, there are a whole line of similar products ready to hit the market any day now. Here’s just a sampling.
