I just heard my two local talkradio show hosts 15 minutes ago talk about why the Eagles vs. Vikings game was REALLY moved for, the answer being in two names: Michael Vick. The Eagles do not want their best player getting hurt. Frankly, it is Vick that is holding the Eagles together, which means it is a very thin holding together. The Mayor of Philadelphia could CARE LESS about the fans and their safety.
Frankly, Governor Randell of PA got it correct, THIS IS A NATION OF WUSSIES.
That’s a cute theory, but it’s also painfully stupid. Especially given the fact that Vick DID get hurt in the game.
The game was moved because the mayor declared a state of emergency. Really think about it, when was the last time you saw a major league pro or college sporting event take place during an already declared state of emergency? I’ll give you the answer: never. The mayor declared a state of emergency all by himself with no input from the team or the league or Vick and the NFL did the only thing the NFL, or any other league, could do then, they pushed the game to be outside the declared state of emergency.
Why does one owner or coach wanting to protect a player condemn the whole country?
The game got played; why are you still bent out of shape about it?
