Basically, society latches onto a non-important issue compared to the grand scheme of things, and bullies said organization or person until they do what they want. And it's all based on an emotional response that lacks logic.

Why doesn't the media put pressure on cars? Bears? Gym equipment? Escalators? Escalators injure 2100 children and 2600 senior citizens a year.


It’s way past time that the media needs to put some pressure on bears. They clearly won’t police themselves so we need to do something about them constantly stealing food. They are basically overgrown chipmunks at this point begging and waiting for scraps. This generation of bears has no idea what the older generation had to endure.

As mentioned the NHL has it and I never even think about or notice the nets when I am sitting behind goal in the upper deck. Perhaps this is slightly different netting/angles etc but my guess is the only people that will notice are the ones that want to. I would expect down the line that the generation that grows up with the netting won't have an issue with it.

How high is it going anyway? I'd expect the only foul balls this actually takes away from the crowd are the line drives.

I was at a Yankee game as a teenager sitting right behind the dugout and watched a line drive drill a girl right in the face. She was taken out and never came back. I would have been ok going back in time and rewatching the game through a net so that she didn't take that ball off the face.

scho63, You might want to fix all your posts in here that are guilty of filter evasion.

Is it just me or is it strange that this thread is consistently at the top of the Lounge the last four days?

Maybe I'm just a pussy in my old age.

Does that mean you have to remove your name from the ALPHA list? ROFL

Maybe a company will invent a more transparent net. Something easy to see through.

I can guarantee this will happen eventually.

A force field! I'm on it. Although I can't think of any other practical applications for it other than a baseball game.

In a few years every team in baseball will have this. The fans will barely notice it and no one will remember this was even controversial - just like 99% of safety features in sports.

White Sox fall to the outraged brigade.
