Shooting Near Nats Stadium This Morning - Game May be Postponed

[CrimsonCowboy]

Kind of surprised it took that long to make the call in postponing the game. Just would not be right in playing the game when all that happened and still happening literally a couple of blocks away. In the end, it was the correct call. Prayers to the victims and families.

yes, cause waiting 12 hours to play the game really changes

if we aren't going to change anything about our culture after each and every single one of these mass shootings

then we shouldn't cancel baseball games over them either

What do you suggest should be changed in DC after this one?

in DC?

this is a country problem

No sense in adding to the chaos around that area by having the game.

THe parking lots were used as staging areas and there was the thought of a possible active shooter still on the loose while the cops were canvasing the neighborhood. How do you expect fans to get to the game?

unlike Atlanta

they have a train that stops right at the stadium

but obviously you didn't get the actual point of my post

The metro stop that is right at the stadium is the same metro stop for the Washington Navy Yard. yeah, let's play a baseball game while an active investigation is going on next door. (as well as a possible active shooter on the loose)

Playing the game would have been a nightmare not only logistically, but emotionally.

p.s. 12 hours later gave them time to clear the staging areas and determine there isn't an active shooter on the loose.
