Pussification of America: Delaying football games

[dfberger23]

This is fukking ridiculous, I can deal with the fact that this country is becoming soft as hell but not when it effects football. Michigan game ended early, several games being delayed, what the fuk is this?

[spankie]

childish shit.

never seen nothin like it in a long long long time

[pavyracer]

Insurance purposes. They are not trying to protect the players but the fans who will sue if they get hit by lightning.

[Sdotbold]

it has to be a nasty tstorm to have a delay doesnt it? it sure seems like alot of games have been delayed this weekend.

[k13]

Was going to make the same thread, back in the old days you played in all elements.

Might as well play flag football indoors.

When is the last time someone got hit by lightning?

[sneakerhead]

I wonder how many games will get canceled this season

[Dirty Sanchez]

That area of the country has been through an Earthquake and Hurricane in the past couple of weeks....so I'm sure they're a tad gun shy

Apparently a few years ago at a South Florida game.

[jjgold]

America is a very weak nation now run by weak people

It filters down to football too

[ebbearsfb1]

so then a kids get killed out there from the weather... ******* morons in this thread.

[neverstoppers23]

The NFL has always delayed games if there it is lighting out.

They should all move away and stay underneath trees just to be safe.

Back when men were tough, their was a military draft, all the guys were on their toes and ready for their country......

Now there's a bunch of wanna be tough-guys(that dont serve) that want to classify other people as pussies or un-american, but are pussies themselves and wouldn't give up their lawn chairs for this great country.

America has become a land of pussies. We wear seat belts in the cars, equip them with air bags, wear helmets on motorcycles and bicycles, we take tylenol when we have headache and fever. We are all pussies. Back in the old times people didn't need this shit and they did just fine.

And the average life expectancy was 20 years less than it is now...

so someone gets struck by lighting at a sporting event then someone will post a thread saying why didn't the dumb fuks stop playing and get the people to safety.

[wtf]

so what if someone gets in a car accident on the way to the game?

they should not even hold the games or do it on a video link to all viewers - no live viewing allowed is my suggestion

[mnpickle]

It's a new rule for NCAA this year. I think it's kind of overly-cautious but I understand why they do it. I think as the season progresses, you will start seeing fewer delays.

Duh..The colder it gets the lesser the chance of a thunderstorm.

[MC PICKS]

A game in iowa got delayed yesterday due to EXCESSIVE RAIN i saw on TV, not lightning. Lightning I totally agree with, but a rain delay for football is a complete snatch move. Water was running down the steps like a waterfall in the stands. My prediction is that safety netting is coming next in baseball with all these kids getting hit with bats and balls and dipshit fans in texas falling out of the stands and into the lower levels, the moron who almost fell into the bullpen at the home run derby in arizona wont help matters either.

don't be stupid.

[The Seer]

blame it on the sue society and lawyers, the delays are to cover their asses

bet you clowns in here feel stupid now that a fan at the wvu got struck by lightening

[wtf]

don't be stupid.

you are wrong

the odds of someone getting in a car accident on the way to the game is dramatically higher than getting struck by mother fukin lightening

not even close

so now what

[The Bet Master]

A fan just got struck.

Police: Stadium Struck by Lighnting, Not Fan
Posted Sunday, September 4, 2011 ; 10:13 PM

The state police issued a statement on the rumors of a fan being struck during the Friends of Coal Bowl.

MORGANTOWN -- Sgt. James Merrill of the West Virginia State Police issued a statement on the rumor that a fan was hit by lightning during the delay of the Friends of Coal Bowl.

The statement said there was a lightning strike outside of Milan Puskar Stadium but they are not aware of anyone being hit.

EMS and State Police were sent to the scene but found no one to be hit.

The game between WVU and Marshall, was delayed because of lightning within a six mile radius of the stadium.

During these delays, fans are asked to leave the stadium and as well as players and sta

[Bluehorseshoe]

I think they just said they cancelled it.

[THE PROFIT]

blame it on the sue society and lawyers, the delays are to cover their asses

exactly

dont get me wrong, this country has become very cuntilized, but what seer said basically covers the real reason, the sue happy coksukin lawyers & everyone in this fukin country lookin for somethin' for nothin'

[THE PROFIT]

I remember a time when a football game was played no matter what

now why cant NASCAR put on goddamn radials & run this stupid shit at Atlanta???

Pussies

[thekid667]

Pussification what a funny word

[Mac4Lyfe]

I don't even scratch my nuts in the rain. The first sign of lightning and I'm indoors. Call me a pussy but an alive one.

and whoever said, hide under a tree has lost his marbles. Real confident talk from the comfort of your own home posting in a gambling forum.

So fukking sick of the "if you're not a vet your opinion doesn't count" line.

Guess what, if our country were really threatened back when we went to war, I'd have picked up a gun to defend our way of life. People who joined our wars of choice deserve our understanding and support, but nobody's died overseas "to protect our country" since WWII.

[griz]

fan gets struck by lightning, obviously this is why they delay games.

safety first boys

You only need to get by lightning once; rarely do you get a second chance.

On average, 500 people die from lightning strikes every WEEK.

[pavyracer]

More people die from lightning than snake bites. If there was a venomous snake in the stands I'd bet you they would have evacuated the stadium to find it and halted the game.
