WORLD CUP USA ’94 / THE FIRST ROUND : Spotlight : SLAKE YOUR THIRST, BUT USE OUR BRAND

First, there was the Cotton Bowl Fence controversy, which begat the Cotton Bowl Fence II controversy. Here’s a watered-down version:

Dallas World Cup organizers were persuaded to take down a security fence around the stadium because international soccer officials believed it was unbecoming of a Cup facility.

But while taking down the fence on a 95-degree day earlier this week, workers were reprimanded for drinking Ozarka water, radio station KSCS-FM reported. Organizers told the workers to stop drinking the water because it was not the official bottled water of the World Cup.
