I suppose that it's their prerogative to cancel games if they really think there is a safety issue to address.
But I can't imagine the exertion level of the typical slow pitch softball player, who might run for a total of 5-10 seconds then sit in a dugout or stand in one spot for several minutes, comes anywhere close to the exhaustive pace of a typical football practice.
If the over-40 guy was prone to keel over on a 115 degree heat index day, he was probably just as likely to keel over on a 100 degree heat index day, which I assume the league director would deem safe conditions.
Or maybe I'm just not sympathetic since I worked six games this past weekend in full gear with heat indexes around 105 and came out of it not much worse for the wear- just a little sore but no more so than if the games had been played in 75 degree weather.
