"Sometimes the Superbowl is played in a dome and sometimes its played outside in sub-zero temps with ice and snow"
"Not Really, think of all the places the superbowl has been lately. Nice Weather or domes the only reason they are going to N.Y in two years is because they spent over a Billion dollars on a new stadium."
You know what he meant... perhaps golf is a better example some players get out early when it is not windy, some players get rained on, some players have to play with Tiger Woods (huge galleries, more TV time, pressure)... Unfortunately that is how it is and there isn't much that can be done about it.
