football is rough

I went to a football game last night. It was pouring. I had a  thin plastic poncho on and sat through the whole game.  The cheerleaders were out there getting drenched. The players were all drenched.  Why is it that football is played in rain, snow, hail sleet?  Are these guys mailmen?
     How come I cant think of any other  sport that is played in bad weather.  When I say football i will include soccer, and rugby in that.  I don;t think alligator wrestling is done in  snow. Anyway,  How come baseball is not played in the rain.  Golf is a little bit.  Basketball is played indoors, hockey is indoors,  Football is  definitely the machoist.  Although  horseracing gets a jockey pretty muddy sometimes.
    I hurt my back sitting in the rain in the same  position,  just watching football. I didn't even play and my back muscles are all hurting.  I must be getting old
