Football has gotten to tbe point that all the games can be played in reasonable and temperate locations instead of at high altitudes or freezing cold.
Because is it really a test of skills rather than a test of elements?
This is the first time in my memory that a football game has been postponed for snow. Thunder & Lightning/Hurricane yes, but not snow. I have watched many late season games played in snow. Usually lots of fumbles, slipping and sliding and funny things happening on the field.
But I agree that this blizzard was too dangerous for players, staff and fans.........................
Its both.
The elements become part of the game.
I always thought it a feature of the game that teams (not necessarily fans) had to also endure/enjoy the gamut of environmental conditions on game day. One of the things that make it an “any given Sunday” sport. JMHO
