@wwmtnews: Two youth softball teams at Eastwood Little League in Comstock, Mich., were in the middle of saying "good game" when they were interrupted by Mother Nature. A fast-moving, high-wind storm cut the sportsmanship short, leaving the girls and coaches running for cover.

Griffin Baltz :

That’s one of the biggest problems with youth sports. Their coaches and the league directors. When bad weather is approaching the games need to be canceled and rescheduled before hand. It’s youth sports, it’s not the serious. Players safety and the spectators safety should be the main priority. Shame on the adults involved in the decision making.

PsychedelicSquirrel :

I get sportsmanship or whatever but come on, I don't think individually shaking each player's hand was as important as getting them to safety.

aHUTTmom :

I believe that’s called a microburst - they’re very scary!

Maranda Maus :

Chris Legereit :

There was a lady that came into my work, the power was out all across town due to a severe thunderstorm. she just wanted to see if we could still make her coffee. Turns out her kid had a soccer game during the thunderstorm. The couch said they would all stay outside, on the benches, waiting for the last lightning strike. about 30 mins after the last strike they will immediately start playing. It’s ridiculous the dangers these kid sports puts on people. No one should be standing in the middle of a soccer field during a severe

Jered Bonneau :

oh there is tornado style winds... Instead of packing up... hmmm... let's all line up, set up a camera and tell eachother good game, then try to get outta there before... oh crap... too late, here is the storm.

Djmccormick :

That’s scary n hope everyone is ok but…. What kinda GameChanger holder is that?!!

Phil McQ :

Adults struggling to be nonchalant.

NancyFal29X :

parents and coaches irresponsible

sko :

Bruh I thought “almost blown away” was an exaggeration… god damn

RadioRey :

It was even worse at Holland State Park. A water spout started to form on the lake.

sweetenersutton :

oh so you weren't being dramatic.........

none :

This reminds me of a lacrosse tournament where it started to rain and the refs had the girls get off the field and sit on the metal bench....the metal bench in lightening. My kid got a stern lecture about how sometimes you simply don't do what an adult tells you to do.

B :

They won’t cancel the game until it’s actively storming, regardless of the forecast. So then everyone has to go home in the bad storm. It’s really short sighted.
