We'll sign me up for that paycheck. Are you cool with the absolute bare minimum? Would YOU pay security to watch TV? You already are. They should be patrolling or at the absolute fucking minimum, paying attention to their surroundings.

They are watching the game...which will directly affect the amount of people\crime in the area depending on the outcome. They have radios, they are being visible. They are also humans that live in the city and are allowed to be fans while working at the same time
