Now don't get me wrong, I hate almost everything that comes from the state of Pennsylvania, Sidney Crosy, Cliff Lee, Michael Vick, and Philly fans but I love what the governor of Pennsylvania had to say about the Eagles Vikings game being postponed. Gov. Ed Rendell was interviewed on a local Philly station and he sounded off a bit about the game being moved.
"I think we've become wussies. ... We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything. If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."
I can't agree more with him. Since when has the NFL been concerned with the safety of the fans getting to the game? For decades there have been football games played in blizzards and horrible weather and all of a sudden this year they decide to postpone the game. Football is a man's game meant to be played in all kinds of weather, that's what makes the game great, that's why people watch. This also is a setback for the supporters of a cold weather Super Bowl and an 18 game season. If they cancel a game in late December because of snow, how are they going to play a game in February when there are thousands of travelers in the NY area for the big game? Or later in the year if they institute an 18 game season.
As a country we need to man up and stop being a bunch of pussies, this is why we're declining as a world superpower and no one takes us seriously anymore.
