And the fighters, who are being asked to fight indoors?  Quite a few
of us are replying:

We don't want to.

If  you (generic) live in Texas and you deliberately DO NOT condition
yourself to the weather, you (generic) are foolish and irresponsible.
I was in Houston during Ike and the people who were used to being in
the heat fared much better than those who did not.  Those who were
able to live in the heat and humidity came through with their spirits
intact, with a much better head-space.

No, Crown Tournament isn't as sweeping as a hurricane, but sticking
your (generic) head in the sand and stomping your (generic) foot and
saying "I don't wanna!" is just ignoring history and the events that
happen just about every summer here in Ansteorra.
