This is a classic case of _hit happens. If they can’t find the perp, tough luck. You don’t transfer that negligence to the stadium and the ball club. This woman should be S.O.L. and unable to collect. She assumed the risk and even baited the fans with her Brady poster. I’m not excusing the perps behavior one bit. But, you attend a game in NYC you should know that some of the fans check their small brains and minimal supply of commmon sense at the gate. They revert to being gutteral animals with no self-control.
I agree with Geek. Of course one should expect crude behavior at a Jets game and prepare for it. But, it is ridiculous to expect all ticket holders to attend a football game “at their own risk”. If that is the case, why hire security at all? Security can prevent these situations and often does. The wudchucks out there need to understand that not everyone who seeks recompense via the US Tort system is a welfare case. We do not know what prompted the woman’s injury but the fact that she was assaulted and she chose to bring suit against the stadium operators means something. The facts will come out in court, not here!
Damn right, then Brady should be sent backwards through a corn field with no pants on for making all those stupid Stetson ads and for having a Jonas Brothers haircut like a sissy.
Jets fans….we hate Tom Brady, The Pats and Brett Favre.
Let the Aholes on the A list go through the Ahole to A row & sit in the A seats & when the game is over, flush the Aholes down the Ahole. Good Job Ritchie!
The sad part is I don’t know which of you are joking and which of you are f’ing psychos. I hope none of you are insurance brokers or retailers. Because if you are, I don’t want to hear it about suits. Anytime you screw up, you beg the company to make an exception to the rules so it doesn’t affect your E&O insurance. And when that doesn’t work, you sue. Insurance people sue all the time. Truely pathetic.
first of all, i never mentioned anything about a welfare system. i think we find ourselves relying too much on the other guys money and not our own responsibility. in this case, it’s the matter of security to have found this problem. i hope that she has proof that it did happen at the stadium and not slipped at home. i just don’t see how a rowdy folks would have truly picked this gal up and threw her a couple of rows. if so, would there not have been other folks that would have broken her fall? sometime things just don’t add up. i can understand the fans getting rowdy and giving her a hard time because she loves Brady.
One thing you people are missing. “…holding up a sign.” Holding up a sign showing support for the opposition team in a crowded stadium is simply an incendiary, stupid thing to do. Does it justify being thrown over a couple rows of seats? Absolutely not, but add the fact that you’re sitting among home fans who may have had a couple beers, blocking their view of the game, and likely refusing to put the sign down, and the outcome is almost a given. Go to Heinz Field and hold up a Ravens sign, and you’d be lucky to get out alive.
What I wonder about is how this escaped being on TV! First, if there was a big to-do, security would certainly have done something about it. There is no proof that security was unaware or uncaring. I doubt they would have ignored a woman being throw over a couple of rows. Second, if it was me, I would have not gone home from that stadium without at least having the police investigate and take my name and call an ambulance so my injuries could be looked at and if need be, documented. that way I would have a criminal complaint on file and also preserve my ability to pursue legal action, in case criminal charges were dropped. third, I would sue the security company that allegedly declined to do anything. I’d bet that this woman did not do any of these things until they went home and talked about it and then decided to call an attorney. Only then did the ball get rolling to cash in. I doubt that this was the big fight that it is being made out to be. things like this would go viral, soon as they happen…this is the first time I heard of it and I say, you got what you paid for when you went to the stadium. I see it all the time and I avoid these folks like the plague; looking for trouble, found it and now want to make something of it? You already made something of it and didn’t like that outcome…but a nuisance lawsuit is usually a winner…better to settle than fight, right?
