Since when do they have any common sense. During State Cup playoffs for 2009, my sons team was playing the CESA premier team during the week. Their coach wanted to get it done. Before the game even started we heard thunder. They (refs and coaches) did nothing until lighting struck very, very close. People couldn't get to their cars fast enough.
I'll add that high school football has measurements for when they stop practice. Pretty sure it's a high school leagur rule. No if, ands or buts.
