Quote: I am not defending Columbia, but they were not dealing with just rain.
I do believe that persons were seriously injured in Atlanta earlier in the day by the tornado's that went through Columbia. I know that portions of I-95 were seriously torn up. Correct no fields were effected, but there were serious concerns for peoples saftey both on and off the fields that night. I know some who were instructed to get into the stairwells of their hotel due to possible tornado's.
Again I am not justifying their decision.
Okay....getting into hotel stairwells on Saturday night has absolutely no bearing on not playing soccer games on Sunday...on what turned out to be a gorgeous day....on fields that were in good condition but the tournament was already cancelled.
