Two major football matches were cancelled in England today because of poor weather; snow and below freezing temperatures were responsible. Man City Chief Executive Gary Cook said "We pursued every avenue possible in search of a solution and while the pitch is still playable, what was paramount in our thinking was the safety of fans travelling to and from the game especially in light of the sub-zero temperatures forecast for Wednesday." Can people no longer make their own minds up about what is or isn't safe? Another example of Health and Safety in the UK gone nuts! Check out this from Buffalo, New York this past Sunday...leave the game on and let the people decide!
How come this NFL game was playable in front of a packed house just 2 days ago? Kick off temperature was 12f/-11c, but with the wind chill it was -2f/-19c, and yet the game went on... At some points, by all accounts, fans couldn't see the other side of the stadium because of the snow...but somehow they managed to get there...and home... Just watch this video and tell me the UK hasn't gone safety crazy!
