Fog is, at least apparently, a rather polarizing topic. Just ask New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones, as the two had different opinions on the heavy fog that settled in when the two teams played on Sunday.
Julio Jones doesn't let a silly little thing like weather bother him:
“No, it didn’t affect me,” Jones said, per Adam London of NESN. “It’s crazy, though. They score and they shoot fireworks off and then it sits up and sits high kind of in the stadium. So, it’s kind of hard, if you do get behind, how can you throw deep balls and things like that because it’s foggy? It didn’t affect us at all, though. They were the better team tonight.”
As for Touchdown Tom Brady:
“And, yeah, the fog — that was crazy,” Brady said, per NBC’s Josh Alper. “I have never seen that. It was just so still out there. The fog had no place to go. I don’t think it affected much, really, at the end of the day. I’m sure it looked cool on TV, though.”
Jones finished the night with 9 catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. That probably eased the idea of fog being a bit of an issue, even if the Falcons did end up losing to the Patriots.

Anyway, a nation that is already divided will now have to choose sides yet again. Are you pro or anti-fog?
Personally, it probably depends on the event. If I am playing a sport with violence being built into it, I'd probably prefer having the ability of seeing what is happening before getting crushed by a giant humanoid.
