re: Canceling a bowl game over a lightning delay is everything that is wrong w/America

Is that a yes?

It's a fair point, why don't they just install metal lightning rods to eliminate the risk?

Wait, you mean almost all stadiums have several flag poles surrounding the perimeter of the stadium already?

Before I continue, can you clarify who you mean by millennials? It’s either the kids who are playing the game, who aren’t millennials, the parents of said kids, who aren’t millennials, or the people who run bowl games/ESPN etc who, you guessed it, aren’t millennials.

Ayou don’t think lighting safety may have anything to do with those statistics?

Our not standing at the highest point in a stadium in a thunderstorm?

You brought up millennials, not me. I just responded with a nod to millennials and noted that you had twinkish anxiety about your sexual reassignment surgery. Which I hope goes well. Not judging.

The problem that exists here - the desire to eliminate reasonable risk from life , the propensity to layer rule after rule upon society to eliminate said risk, and the negative way that effects our quality of life , is what the OP addressed. Our scary world and how scared it makes you to go outside where it’s scary and scary things happen in a scary way.

I replied to your post complaining about millennials. The first person to bring it up was msudawg.

You have the weirdest fricking melts on this website, holy shite. Get help.

Something about millennials and sexual reassignment surgeries I think.

I played high school ball in Mississippi from 1986-89, and in 1988 we played in a tropical storm. Well, we moved the game to Thursday, but it was raining and lightening all night. We never delayed once, but got our arses whipped 36-0 and lost the division.

wow you sound tough

Being a boy, and thinking like a boy, you don’t know what you’ve lost in this super vanilla, no lightning - risk world you constantly evangelize for . You don’t know what you don’t know. And you don’t know what you’ve lost, because you never had it. And that Is a function of your age and the daily Progsoy- gulping you have been trained to think is good for you.

The world is objectively better when adults assume reasonable risk on a case by case basis and proceed accordingly. I have no expectation that you will understand that point and/or why it is important.
