Maybe the reason why the games are being cancelled is to allow greater
security measures to be implemented first. After all, a stadium filled with
people is a prime target for a bomb.

  I disagree that the NFL canceled all the games this weekend, and that the
ML
  canceled games until Friday. Some of the other baseball and football
players
  are saying that football and baseball are "just a game." Even though they
  are, they are more than that. Professional sports have become part of our
way
  of life. Football and baseball players are earning a living. And just as
the
  rest of us have to continue with our lives, and continue making a living,
so
  are the players. The professional sports people are not the only ones
making
  a living off the sport. The concession workers, the parking attendants,
the
  security people, etc., etc., all count on these games to make a living.
But
  unlike a football player who makes $10,000's per game, some of these
others
  are making just enough to put food on the table for the next week.

  I agree, Wim.
  Not to mention, we could use a little cheering up.  Remember how important
sports were to soldiers overseas.  We need a little break from the chaos.
It will still be there when the game is over.  I'd consider a good game
"moral support" at this time.  Then again, having the teams get around
without planes might be a little difficult...
