Penn. Governor says U.S. is becoming bunch of wusses for postponing NFL game in Philadelphia's snowstorm

What a bunch of wusses says Rendell.

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell must have grown up watching games in the 1950s and 1960 when the NFL was such a struggling league that it couldn't afford to postpone or cancel any games. That's why we had games in blizzards being played up in the Northeast and in places like Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota. Who could forget the 1967 Ice bowl between Los Vaqueros de Dallas and the hometown Green Bay Packers?  That's probably why, this weekend, the Governor became outraged when the NFL decided to postpone Sunday night's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was the first time since 1932, the NFL was postponing a game. The fact that the reason for the postponement was a heavy snowfall in the Philadelphia area  did not sit well with Gov. Rendell. His take on this rare schedule change was as follows: 

"We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything," he 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."

They'd be doing calculus on the way down? What kind of Juggernaut is this China become? We better heed Rendell's advise and start playing in Hurricanes and Blizzards again. Oh yes, and don't forget the Calculus on the way to the game..........ok, maybe pre-calculus.
