JUST IN: The CEO of the Sugar Bowl said that after speaking with the teams and officials it was decided that "it's in the best interest of everybody and public safety that we postpone the game for 24 hours."

For coming years, invest HEAVILY in the breeding of bomb-sniffing dogs; in construction of barricades; in body bags. Because when Trump's picks get their hands on the FBI, all terrorism-prevention efforts will cease. Local will be it.
FBI will be all "investigate Biden/Clinton/Harris" all the time.
Postponing the game gives time to properly investigate if the suspect was a lone agent or not, and to beef up security for the large crowd of people that will be attending the game. It's not like they're cancelling the game or anything like that.
Wondering how many MAGAs will see Kash Patel and think he's Shamsud Din Jabbar?? They are deeply xenophobic and not the brightest bunch. He's a horrible choice for FBI, and that has absolutely nothing to do with his ancestry.
Sad you are that unaware. The current president (USA) is Joe Biden. He has contacted the city officials and offered whatever help they believe needed. The concern is the incoming guy shows no sympathy and used the tragedy to promote the false narrative that immigrants are to blame. No help at all
didn't they say multiple people were involved in the attack, and none of those people are caught yet... seems like a bad idea to postpone it for just one day. but hey, nothing makes sense anymore
Yeah. Hate to say it, but my thought as well. "Until we are certain the threat has passed" would make sense, but, "People are scared today, so we'll wait until tomorrow" just sounds like security theater.
Contrary to popular belief, security theatre is not entirely negative. If postponing a GAME until things can calm down and be examined makes people feel better, postpone the stupid fucking game.
The thing is, if there's actually still a threat out there, then not gathering a large number of people in one spot is genuinely a good idea, and not just for one day. Even if there's not, giving it between three days and entire week wouldn't kill them, and would be a hell of a lot more responsible.
Right decision for the people involved, NOLA at large, and the ability to increase security around the Superdome. The number of IEDs found and assailants at large say that Bourbon Street wasn't the only prong of the attack. Cant' imagine that the Sugar Bowl and the crowd wouldn't be targeted.
