Looking at the angles, I think I'd rather her be on the field.
I ask coaches at HS games, to remove their players to the cars or buses. I will repeat that request when I see coaches who don't comply. However, I have had both coaches and parents argue that "it is raining too hard," or something along those lines. My belief then, is, you can lead a horse to water....
