December 29, 201015 yr Why don't she find some more stuff to sue for, like maybe they ruined her mink coat and knocked out her 5 carat diamond earrings, etc.?
December 29, 201015 yr Why would the Bengals be named in the suit? I could see why this year. You could claim the play of the team would cause any fan to get drunk.
December 29, 201015 yr 1 of the 2 scouts for the Bengals will now be fired to make up for the loss on this case.
December 29, 201015 yr I hate frivolous lawsuits but I hope they win. The Bengals and probably the NFL in general have allowed fans at NFL games to get by with criminal behaviour for years now. I'm all for having a good time and throwing a few back but the fighting and degrading language is flat silly. I personally saw a fan in an opposing teams jersey get urinated on in the rest room a few seasons back. If people can't handle thier booze don't let them in or be held accountable I say.

Actually, I think that the suit should be against the people who caused the injuries, not the venue, organization, etc. But the reason those entities are being sued is that there's a chance the suers will get some money. If they sue the individuals, they likely will get nothing, even if they win an award.

December 29, 201015 yr I have always heard horror stories about how drunk people get. I have been to most Bengals games over the past 3-4 seasons & have never had any problems, although I've seen a few fights & a few (completely) wasted people. It was not until last week that one of those people sat right behind me. It was obnoxious, and I know that they just purchased upper level seats & moved down. To make matters worse, their drunk buddies were 2 rows in front of me and kept turning around and staring.
December 29, 201015 yr Do you feel that the organization/venue bears no responsibility to the behaviour of it's patrons? In all likelihood, these people did the majority of their drinking before the game in the parking lot. How could the organization or venue be responsible for somebody getting inebriated prior to entering the game? To further complicate the issue, there are multiple beer vendors and a policy in place that allows only 1 beer per ID.
December 29, 201015 yr Do you feel that the organization/venue bears no responsibility to the behaviour of it's patrons? Ultimately, no. I feel that the behavior of an individual is the responsibility of the individual. For the record, I think the woman who sued McDonalds and won should not have won. She's the dummy who put the coffee between her legs. In a restaurant or bar setting, I can see how waiters, waitresses, bartenders, managers, etc, could be held liable, or the entity, because they are in a position to monitor the amount of alcohol as well as the behavior of the individual and determine when to cut someone off. In this case, how many people do you know that never leave their seats. Their friends go get beer for them, everybody takes turns. In a setting like a Bengals game there are tens of thousands people. It's an impossibility. IF any entity sould be held liable, it should be limited to the security company.

Fair enough, I think the organization or the county if they are responsible for the venue could do a better job monitoring some of the activity. Going to a Reds game one doesn't have to deal with this stuff. I have a 5 year old son and took him to 5 or 6 Reds game this year and never even heard as much as a curse word and we sat everywhere from a luxury box to the nose bleeds. I'd never take him to a Bengals game and I'm shocked that's the first time that CC has seen any problems. The games I've been to I've seen fights, puking, foul language, as I mentioned before an opposing fan urinated upon and sexual activity. Not something the Bengals or the NFL should allow and by having to have a "family section" they are acknowledging that yes we have a problem and no we are not willing to do anything about it IMO.

I would say this...a baseball fan and a football fan are two different animals. Comparing the fans of sports is like comparing human to beast. :lol:

I've just never acted like a criminal in the process.
