NFL supporters were left infuriated after the league permitted a preseason game to go on despite the serious threat of a hurricane.

The Los Angeles Chargers were scheduled to host the New Orleans Saints in a preseason game on Sunday that was expected to be called off as Hurricane Hilary was looming. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake also shook things up in the area yet the NFL allowed the game to go on, much to the disappointment of fans on social media.

It’s all about the money Nick. NFL doesn’t care. https://t.co/39n5cplMR6

I really can't understand why we're here and why this game is being played. Saints and Chargers just had two days of joint practices.

Why are players, fans, stadium workers being put at risk?

Others disagreed, however.

I live 5 miles from the stadium. No wind light rain. Let's play some ball!

I had tickets to the game and decided to not go it was dangerous driving in the 405 with floods and rain. It’s not worth it

Other leagues did the opposite, with two MLS games that were to take place in L.A. postponed and three MLB fixtures moved up from Sunday to Saturday after California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency.

The National Weather Service also issued a flash-flood warning urging residents in Southern California not to leave home unless it was for evacuation purposes.
