You’re right. It’s inexcusable if a person decides to take that risk for a preseason game. If that person is in danger, it’s their responsibility to figure out if it is worth it or not, not the NFL, and based on the lack of any government orders, not the city/state government either.

If it’s raining bad here during a severe thunderstorm and I’m hearing there may be flooding, I’m not going out to a preseason game. If I do go and something happens, is it the league’s fault or is it my own?

A person wouldn't be able to take the risk in the right place, if the NFL did the right thing in the first place. I guess you don't understand out of extreme caution do you? In addition city officials will have divert first responders to a meaningless preseason game instead of helping people who are in dire need.

The game is being played. Get over it, move on.

Alright dude. I think you’ve said your piece.

Sorry for responding to people talking directly to me. Didn’t know this was frowned upon, dude.

It has leaked during run of the mill every day storms too. Are you seriously introducing a Katrina level event to this game being played scenario?

Tell me this, is it leaking because it’s raining, or is it leaking and people are freaking out because it’s raining in an event called a “hurricane?” In other words, are there hurricane conditions outside there right now, or is it simply raining?

And no, they are not sitting near the eye of a category 4 storm right now, the way it’s being made to sound. It’s simply raining out there.

We have had players PLAYING in the rain during storms before, with no roof.

I don't know where you are getting your weather reports, but Hillary is not even a hurricane any more. Nobody is calling it a CAT 4. Rain will be the biggest problem for socal.

NGL it's weirding me out that the NFL didn't at least move the game out of the storm's path. Its a preseason game and you knew going back to wednesday-ish that it'll be affecting the reigion right around gametime.

I know it isn’t. But that’s how it is being treated as by people discussing it, and that’s my point.

So anytime it rains hard in California, we have to shut down all sporting events? Why are schools still in session tomorrow out there?

Enough!

 

[St. Geezy]

Enough!

Enough of what???

So I can’t even respond to someone directly misquoting me? Just because you don’t like my answer or I have the audacity to defend my position it means I have to just let you put words in my mouth and then stop talking because you said so?

YES.

I don't disagree...all I am saying is that this isn't the first ever football game played with the surrounding city experiencing severe weather. Hell, we have seen games played IN said severe weather.

If patrons don't think it is safe, don't go. We are all adults here; do what's best for you.

Severe and "life threatening" are not the same.

I think the concern is getting the team out of Los Angeles if there are large mudslides and flooding. I assume the stadium will nearly be empty, since I imagine many people have evacuated in advance of the storm. The Charger players will probably have a hard time focusing on the game not knowing the status of their homes, family and friends.

And that can cause injuries.
