Nah... why experience personal accountability when we can just sue and babyproof everything for the dumbest common denominator? |
I don't think there's any proof that the parent wasn't paying attention.
It's not the smartest thing to bring your kid there. But if your stadium's way of punting liability is to tell fans they have to be ready at a moment's notice to catch a 110 mph hardball screaming at your head or else it's your fault... So who's not allowed down there now? No kids. Nobody with poor coordination, probably a lot of women. No seniors. No handicapped. All phones confiscated. No scorebooks. And while we're at it, nobody should be allowed to hold a beer or nachos during a pitch. Maybe then people will just pay attention like they're supposed to.
