I think any sane person annoyed by it just turned the game off because it's the preseason, but these are diehards. After reading these threads I'm on their side though, just because they're less annoying than the scolds.
I'm a trained storm spotter, so maybe I have a different perspective,
but they continue on:
It may save a life. That's more important than a preseason game that is still on.
Some people are illiterate. Probably more than you think. So tickers aren't good enough.
And it is just a game which you watching will not change the outcome of.
But someone finding out there is a tornado might save their life.

Burgers have no idea how fun sports in stadiums can actually be.
They think doing the wave a few times is as good as it gets.

For how expensive tickets are, you'd be down >$500 if you get your family kicked out of a football game
That's why fun shit happens at baseball games with <$25 tickets and on cheap beer nights

NFL games are family friendly, which is cool for families, but it's why the crowds aren't chanting profanities and storming the field. College football is where Americans get rowdy in massive crowds. Euros have absolutely no idea how big college football is.

Getting trampled to death by a bunch of chavs can't be that fun either.
