When this occurs, our normal reaction time is slower, and we become more prone to injury especially playing sports. Our muscles, ligaments, and tendons are at a higher risk of sprains, strains, pulls, and tears."

But I mean who gives a shit about the players. Its manly to sit out side in 30 degree windchill! This place is unreal. People don't want Patrick Mahomes to run a QB sneak but want him to play football in 30 degree wind chill instead. Retractable roof would be gay! |
The article is referring to the body being cold at the same time. They were plenty warm on the sideline and any extended stoppage.
The cold gear available now makes a massive difference as well.
