So in the last 30 years or so we don’t live in a softer , even wussier society than we used to? It was an honest observation/ question as to whether or not the lightning policy is justified or just another example of the fact that we live in a much softer society than that of previous generations. The “oh the horror remark” was not aimed at the weather delay but rather your insinuation that somebody had dared to bring up whether or not the weather delays may sometimes be an overreaction. Of course I’m sitting on my ass watching it from the comfort of my home. I guess I could have gone to Miami and toughed it out with the “real fans”, or maybe even go sit outside and watch it in the rain, but again the “oh the horror “ remark was aimed at your overreaction, not the delay itself. Not sure why your panties are in such a wad over that chief, but I hope you have a great rest of your weekend .

Yep, because we have adults pissing and moaning that their entertainment was postponed because their might be a weather threat for the people at the event. You are a great example of how soft we are. Congrats.

The wussification part was dumb.

I did not state or imply that the lightning delays were emphatically a symptom of the wussification of America. I stated that maybe it was, or maybe it wasn’t. I wasn’t sure then, and I am still not sure. If you cannot see that we live in a more cautious/sensitive society than that of generations past then I really don’t know what to say to you

Play better Titans with the resume.

Miserable day for Texans 21-6 Watson is being contained in his return with playing the great team the Patriots.

FYP chief.... and I wasn’t pissing and monaing. Your reading comprehension skills really leave something to be desired. My original statement was that I could not decide whether the delays were always justified or perhaps sometimes an overreaction, which seems to be part of a recurring theme related to all areas of life in the world we live in today. In no way did I bring my own personal preferences or the safety of others into the conversation. I asked a simple question of myself

In a low scoring game Jags winning 13-9 vs the Giants.

Blue horses look great 23-17 with the return of the talented great QB Luck. A barnburner in Indy.

It's widely known that a lightning strike can travel 10 miles or more. I don't know the NFL policy, but college starts a delay after a strike within like 8-9 miles. Sounds reasonable for a gigantic metal structure filled with people sitting on metal bleachers.

Also the Titans hated rival the Black Birds steamrolling the Bills 40-0. The Ravens look like the 2007 Patriots a supreme asskiking a utter embarrassment, and Ravens steamrolling the outmanned Bills.
The Ravens winning today is "All Too Easy"

yes, and one would have to conclude that as long as this delay has gone on that there must have been a legitimate threat. I still wonder if every single instance when you have one lightning strike within 10 miles of a stadium warrants a weather delay, or are there times when the league/conference/organization etc....may be overreacting. I guess with human lives at stake you err on the side of caution though.

I'm sure a lot of the motivation is liability too. If they didn't have a strict policy and lightning hit the stadium during play, there would be tons of lawsuits against the league.

That’s true. Seems like there could be a logical happy medium, but I guess with the unpredictability of weather coupled with the liability of potentially lost lives they are just doing the best they can..... and that’s all I was really asking myself / the board before certain panties started getting bunched up
