HCH....I used the no drinking rule at NCAA events and the absence of cigarette sponsorship at NASCAR(you say no advertising .....I won't argue) to prove a point. With ALL th erevenue generated by those sports (insert hunting revenues to correlate).....the special interest groups (read anti's...again, for correlation) STILL had the power to have alcohol sales at NCAA events banned and to have RJReynolds (world's largest tobacco leader) removed from NASCAR sponsorship.
Your acknowledgement, as if an answer, would simply lead to a future answer to someone else's question. You figure out the question and ponder fora while the "why's".
Answer: Because hunting is illegal
Alcohol and tobacco have nothing to do with hunting or the possibility of having hunting rights taken. Alcohol kills people in the form of drinking and driving. Tobacco...do I need to go there.
