The NFL draft is ruining Nashville for bachelorette parties

The NFL draft is ruining Nashville for bachelorette parties
That’s right: The NFL draft is ruining untold numbers of bachelorette parties this weekend.

“When did they start planning the draft? Because I feel like I just found out about this,” a bridesmaid to the woman in the “Bride” shirt said. The woman of the hour chimed in with, “I found out three days ago, and it made me want to cry.”

Nashville’s main drag, Broadway, was more clogged than usual Thursday, the first night of the draft. According to The Tennessean, police estimated more than 100,000 people were jammed into a few blocks downtown near Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans and site of the draft.

As the first round wrapped at midnight, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell thanked the more than 200,000 people whom the league expected to take part in draft-related festivities. That was great news for the NFL, which again was able to show off its unparalleled popularity among U.S. sports leagues, but somewhat worse news for those who came to town anticipating a less testosterone-fueled scene.
