Rendell was rankled by the league's decision to move the Philadelphia Eagles' home game against the Minnesota Vikings from Sunday night to Tuesday evening.
The NFL cited the winter storm that wound up slamming most of the East Coast as the reason for the change, but elected to postpone the game before any snow had even accumulated. About a foot of snow fell on Philadelphia, though less than 5 inches was on the ground before the scheduled kickoff at 8:20 p.m. EST Sunday night.
Rendell viewed the NFL's decision as a referendum on the toughness, or lack thereof, of the United States.
"My biggest beef is that this is part of what's happened in this country," Rendell said. "I think we've become wussies."
"We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything," Rendell added. "If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."

He's mad because the Eagles' game was called for 3" of snow on Sunday LOL
Rendell is an idiot. Thankfully, he will be out of office next month.

The “wussification” started long before Obama was elected.
It started about 30 years ago and I find it astonishing.
Rendell is right. We’ve become a nation of “Wusses.”
I was at the Ice Bowl and survived.
I’m so tired of hearing China this and China that, if China’s so great why don’t you go live there Rendell?
Dude’s right.
He needs to speak for himself.
Rendell would know. He’s a democrap, so he’s a wuss.

Best get used to it, because if we continue on our current path, China will replace us.
That said, I'm predicting Wednesday night football will be a smashing success and Rendel will claim it was his plan. You know, he and Pete Rosell used to discuss it 15 years ago. . .
Hundreds of thousands of good Americans here in the Northeast are in mortal shock over this postponement. I am one of them and we thing that is is only fitting that the Philadelphia Eagles change their uniforms to dresses and high heels because they are nothing but a bunch of sissies who are afraid of playing in a little bit of snow.
Now I know what the rest of you are going to say, that the mayor of Philadelphia is to blame. But no, I am not going to buy that because if the Eagles truly wanted to play last night, they would have. But they decided to wait a couple more days because they are deathly afraid of the Minnesota Vikings and snow.

True, but the battle isn’t over yet we got time to turn this around and it all begins by fixing the
One Big Ass Mistake America
made in 2008.
Two dolts a complete disgrace to Americans and sports fans everywhere.
Meanwhile, it would be nice if those on our side of the aisle, stopped shipping our jobs offshore as fast as they can.
It’s gotta start somewhere - and will only grow as an issue.
It would be smart, for the GOP to get in front of this issue. Before it destroys the Republican Party - and America.
