Ax Throwing Is A Sport,

and where better to stage a contest than a pub?

 that sells lots of beer, I mean what could possibly go wrong? so off to the Hub Stadium, in Auburn Hills,Michigan, for a contest, but then the  Michigan Liquor Control Commission investigators visited the warehouse-style bar, and guess what they found,

and logged as infringements of the alcohol licence? drinking alcohol while throwing axes, ax-throwers wearing open-toed shoes, a lack of monitoring by bar management and axes ricocheting off targets in the direction of participants, and there was more, the following are additional concerns noted by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission after reviewing videos on Stadium Hub's social media platforms:

Patrons throwing axes at bottles of spirits, consuming shots from the bottle that was not struck, and a message displayed on the video stating: "Who said don't mix alcohol with axe throwing?"

A person bouncing an axe off the floor to hit the target.

A person flipping the axe in mid-air and catching it with the other hand before throwing the axe at the target.

A person throwing two axes at once.

Three people identified in the video as coaches throwing axes at one target at the same time.

A person dropping and catching axes behind his back before throwing two axes at the same time at a target.

A person attempting to balance feet on a strap, walking barefoot (tightrope style), carrying and tossing an axe at the target.

sounds like they had better crank up old sparky and strap someone in, but it all sort of ended well, the bar was slapped with a 1 day no alcohol ban, bar management told the Michigan Liquor Control Commission they "had implemented some changes and would continue to implement others," according to LARA, but here is the thing, exactly what changes were implemented to alleviate the concerns? well they were not revealed by LARA or the Liquor Control Commission in Tuesday's statement.
