Forced compliance...eventually, the frog dies...yeah, great.

Real smart for Dad to be real cool and bring his 4-5 yr old daughter down in the line of fire and then everyone cries that young child hit by foul ball.

Not quite as dumb as adults bringing young kids to a protest March that turns violent and then is shocked.

It has to be deaths and not injuries that teams are trying to prevent?


That's a pretty reeruned stance.

You get used to it.

What a pussy!

Eventually the frog doesn't get lung cancer and the smokers all have more social interaction and potential hook-up introductions with their fellow exiles. Win-win.

Or, and here me out here this is going to sound crazy, but maybe the Dad shouldn't have to worry about his daughter being in a line of fire as a spectator of a sporting event. Maybe it's silly that 10,000 of the best seats in the stadium apparently should be free of children due to dangerous flying projectiles.

Maybe in some bizarro world that's a better experience for everyone, and a lot easier on the players who are clearly traumatized every time they injure someone with a foul ball or a bat.

Or maybe we all just need to grow a pair and always keep doing things the way we've always done them because change is frightening.

The people most upset about nets because it "ruins their experience" are perfectly comfortable saying no parent or kid deserves to sit in those seats. Must go for older people too. And the disabled. Uhh.... or how about we just put up the nets and anyone can sit wherever they want without "assumed risk." I just went to a game behind the nets at home/3rd. Not a damn person complained or barely even noticed.

I don't mind either way, I don't go enough to think I've got a realistic chance to have a foul ball come my way, and because getting off your phone at most Royals games is pretty tough.

At this point, who cares? They did it, you can't do anything about it, so don't bother to gripe anymore because it's done.

Yeah, I was in 218, right behind where that happened. The girl was preteen age, watching the game, and couldn't do shit when that ball went careening off her temple.

I've sat here for about 5 Dbacks games before. Some say they are some of the best seats in the house.

Oh the horror of the netting!!!!!

A overweight, middle aged white man wouldn't be able to do shit with a ball like that either.

The OP should be thanking teams for keeping his ass safe!!!

FYP

You mean she couldn't catch a 120 mph line drive with her bare hands? Must be because she's young and she's a girl. I'm sure the drunk guy who was "stupid" enough to eat a hot dog during an inning would have been better prepared. Maybe we should also ban all uncoordinated women from the lower sections since we seem to have identified audiences who have no business being there.
