I70 Closures in Colorado

Interstate 70, through Colorado, is having some issues, this weekend.

From Aurora, to the Kansas border it was closed Saturday afternoon, due to blowing snow.

Officials were unsure when it would be reopened.

To the west of Denver, eastbound I70 was temporarily closed due to a twelve vehicle pileup, near Lookout Mountain.

Only minor injuries occurred, and the closure caused slowing on westbound.

That has since been cleared, and both directions are now moving regularly again.

Tunnels through the mountains of Colorado are being metered, slowing traffic near them, but no closures are currently reported.

The Growing Conflict Between Canada and Mexico in Sports

Baseball became the latest medium for violence between Canada and Mexico, on Saturday.

A bench clearing, punches thrown and connected fight occurred in the ninth inning of a game between the two countries.

Organizers of the The World Baseball Classic said no one would be disciplined over the brawl.

The two countries have a growing sports rivalry, which is increasingly physical.

Previously, it's been mostly contained to soccer games, with both men's and women's games having confrontations.

Officials, especially in Canada, are becoming increasingly worried by this, as they see it hurting their national image.

Mexico, on the other hand, appears to be desiring of more physical conflicts.

It will be up to sports leagues how long they will allow this to go on.
