NFL’s policy over cold-weather games questioned after fans treated for hypothermia and frostbite at Chiefs-Dolphins game

This is wrong. They stopped it for lightning. In fact, they actually ignored the lightning long enough to find a convenient stopping point to delay the game.
No ****? I had a weird feed that day. The game just kept going to a blue screen and there was no explanation as to what was happening. Not a word about lightning.
 
You know, they make electric socks, gloves, vests hats nowadays. My cousin wears them out on the pipelines in winter. He says as long as you also do some layering, he stays warm for his whole shift. So, I bought the socks and vest this Winter. Nice and warm.
Nothing to keep folks from doing the same if they are going to be sitting around in a football stadium on a freezing day. Spend some of the money you'd be using to drink cold *** beer in subzero weather on items that might just keep you warm enough to enjoy the game.

There’s a lot of stupid people amongst who don’t take those precautions however

Have to be careful with anything that is electric. There is always a burn risk...

NO ****, people are being dumbed down constantly. It’s being made so people don’t have to think and that’s a good thing as a lot of people would be dead if they had to think for themselves. DUMB ****-ers all over.

WoW, cynical as that sounds————————-

Common sense has been on a decline. And seemingly worse of recent

Actually slash, the products out there, NOT ALL, but reputable products are nearly fool-proof. Milwaukee makes a great line of jackets / vests / etc….. we use them and have yet to even have a small problem.

Socks are a little different story, if you get electric socks, be sure it is easy to turn on and off conveniently as they have a tendency to over heat and feet sweat. Most electric socks are powered by two “D” cell batteries so not high risk.

Lastly, I have a pair of heated pants as well, hardly ever wear them b it they have worked A-ok the two times I have.

There's a very easy solution to extreme weather games IMO.

Play them in a neutral DOME. Monetary dividends can be given to the allocated home team just as if they would still be taking in the revenue of a home game.

The only disadvantage, if you call it that, would be the home team representation by fans...

This solution is ONLY for extreme weather situations.

Agreed. Worse case is a state of emergency and the dome can make do as a safety shelter

Granted the dome is nearby neutral site that somehow gets affected lol

I actually got that idea from what they did w/ New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

There are so many ways to improve the league, it's rules and safety to players and fans---there are a lot of smart people that can/could help if only Roger would listen...

Make every team have a dome and be done with it.

What? Ignored it? For a "convenient" stopping point? that doesn't seem safe for the fans.

True I should have said select products. As I have medically coded a few different items. Always seemed to be hand or feet or electric heaters..

Yes, it was very clear when there was lightning and everyone in the stadium knew. I believe they waited until halftime the first time. I forget the second one, but the rain and wind that came soon after the stadium bowl cleared out was insane. The temperature dropped and all kinds of debris was flying around.

Electric bras?
Harden those nips right up.

So I was being a typical male this morning when ol girl walked by I made sure to cop a feel. As she continued to walk away. I told her to come back. She said why? As I target the other breast I said, "remember a few times I was too rough and you complained that they were sensitive?" She replied yeah?

Well I can't just fondle one, they are sensitive. I can't risk hurting their feelings.

😁

Lightning has to be within 8 miles of the sporting event for the officials to shut the event down...
