The NFL just made another questionable decision. Shocking, right? With Hurricane Hilary approaching the west coast of the United States, the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers will still play their game was scheduled on Sunday night.
There were discussions about moving the game – but to no avail. Instead, the lone Sunday game will be played later in the day, closer to potential peril.
The league could have moved the game up to an earlier slot to ensure higher probability of safety. The Saints are already in Los Angeles after joint practices during this week against the Chargers. There's simply no excuse for this choice by the NFL.
The storm is still projected to hit California later on Sunday or early Monday morning. Regardless, the Saints could be in danger during or after the game – or even on their way back to New Orleans. They could choose to not travel right after the game as well, though.
No matter what – the NFL made another questionable decision regarding the Saints.
