I'm of two minds. It's very difficult to play such an intense game when your heart isn't in it and I understand many players don't have the right mindset because of the tragedy. However, with roads impassable and many filling shelters and hotels with people who *can't* go home, why add 150+ people who could be elsewhere doing something better?
Were I a player, I would be looking to get my family out of town - not trying to join them in Houston. Houses can be rebuilt. Neighborhoods can be cleaned up and made liveable again. Wardrobes and furniture can be repaired or replaced. Getting the family to safety should be the first priority.
I wonder if any Week 1 games are going to be postponed?
