We’re your football players doing this at 5:30am - unpaid - because it is their normal schedule?
I have no idea how you came up with 5:30 am when I said yesterday. It was a regular pro US football game happening in a light snow. So presumably rugged Americans playing bare armed. I guess I was somewhat rugged too when I walked to classes in a midwest winter, 8 am, -25f, windy, skirt and knee high socks. This was a year before it became common for women to wear leotards or slacks when going to classes. I weighed 125 lbs and it took the hour in lecture for my knees to warm up before walking 5 blocks to the next class. When my late husband wanted to move back there, I told him NO! Those winters would destroy our marriage.
