The Super Bowl weather forecast in Minneapolis, Minnesota is well below freezing, the way football was intended to be played.

The temp is currently -7. People are talking and complaining about it nonstop on Twitter, and that garbage needs to come to a quick end.

First off, the game is being played in a dome, so everybody complaining is being nothing more than a dramatic baby.

Second, and much more importantly, football is about toughness, and fans should be tough. Do you know how you get tough? You spend time in an area where the weather is capable of killing you. I would know because I grew up in the countryside of Wisconsin. There were days so cold that boiling water thrown into the air would disappear. It’s a really fun trick if you’re willing to ignore the fact that temps at -45 can kill you in less than 30 minutes of exposure.

I don’t want to hear any complaining. I just want to hear people thank God for blessing them with these frigid temps. It’s what separates the men from the boys. It puts people into two camps. Those capable of survival and the other side that isn’t. Which side are you on? I hope you’re on the first because that’s where football fans should be.

It’s a man’s game, and there’s nothing more manly than braving the coldest of temperatures. We can go play a warm Super Bowl after our society decays a bit more and we grow weaker. Until then I want nothing but the coldest of weather. Waking up to -7 isn’t even cold. That’s hardly even chilly. It’s time to sack up or shut up. A real football fan would be shirtless chugging beers just to prove a point. Now, go crack a beer and get started on conquering the world.
