That brings me back to something I always felt guilty about. After 9/11 13 years ago, obviously I was saddened, but I didn't know anyone that died personally. They then canceled all football games that week, and that was what made me the most mad, granted I was in high school at the time, but yea, that was the biggest issue at the time for me.
That's not so egregious so don't feel guilty over it. But it wasn't a big deal that they canceled games.
