"The Homeland Security Department alerted authorities and stadium owners in those cities, as well as the NFL, of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed 'with strong skepticism.' Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said there was no intelligence that indicated such an attack was imminent, and that the alert was 'out of an abundance of caution.'
'The department strongly encourages the public to continue to go about their plans, including attending events that involve large public gatherings such as football games,' Knocke said."
On the other hand, should this occurrence actually have happened, they can always say "I told you and you did not listen!"
Either it is a threat or it is not. Take it seriously or leave it alone. I do not need the extra anxiety of thinking it will happen. Of course, I can not afford to go to these sporting events anyway.
