TIME TO BAN SWIMMING AND PUT NETS AROUND EVERY POOL!

From 2005-2014, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day. An additional 332 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents. About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger.

They could have used some sort of extended net over McCovey Cove back when Barry Bonds was playing. Many innocent fish were spooked by errant homers crashing into the water.

GOTTA BAN DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS OR THEY ALL HAVE A BE BEHIND NETS!!!!

Philadelphia, February 28, 2018
A new study released in the latest issue of Wilderness & Environmental Medicine shows that animal encounters remain a considerable cause of human harm and death. Researchers analyzed fatalities in the United States from venomous and nonvenomous animals from 2008-2015. They found that while many deaths from animal encounters are potentially avoidable, mortality rates did not decrease from 2008-2015. The animals most commonly responsible for human fatalities are farm animals, insects (hornets, wasps, and bees), and dogs.

In a follow-up to their previous study looking at data from 1999-2007, researchers from Stanford University used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database to collect data by type of animal and individuals’ age, race, sex, and region where the fatalities occurred. They found that from 2008-2015, there were 1,610 animal-related fatalities in the US, with the majority of deaths the result of encounters with nonvenomous animals (57 percent).

Scho just won all the gold medals in the False Equivalency Olympics.

Gotta ban assault weapons because they kill people? What about that one?

Scho, what it boils down to is cost to effectiveness ratio.

This is a very low hanging fruit and is a very cheap solution.

I will be nice and delete the pic. You are a ****.

Hint - the filtered words rhyme with bunt.

Looks pretty harmless to me........:hmmm:

You are a pussy-this was NY Times and CNN headlines and front page phots. YOU ARE A CENSORSHIP NAZI. Worse than Google or Twitter or Facebook.

You are a ****- plain and simple

If we all had to wear our own nets, we'd be safe everywhere.

Give it a few months - parents in the lower levels will be like - hey I don't have to watch to make sure my kid is paying attention every pitch - or worry about throwing my body in front of him.

Kinda like smoking bans in bars - which everyone hated at first and then were like - hey, this is kind of nice.

LMAO All this outrage over nets. Still see the game perfectly fine.

The most expensive seats in the stadium have to look through a net. Somehow it doesn't bother them.

Scho is picking a weird hill to die on...

The part that isn't mentioned in that tweet was a little girl was hit in the head by a foul ball yesterday and had to stay in the hospital overnight.
