Kid hit by pitch, dad sues

Not in New Jersey!

 

WELL SINCE YOU PUT THEM IN ALL CAPS...

 

Since you said "three words" I didn't read your two lines of bullshit until just now. Did you read my post at all? If not, stop hyperventilating and take a look at the FIRST FOUR WORDS OF MY POST. I'll even reprint them for your stupid old ass:

"On the facts alleged..."

Do. u. unner sthand. whut. dat. meanz?

If the defendant denies the allegations then the parties can proceed to discovery and at that point the defendant can move for summary judgment and the plaintiff will be required to prove each element of his claim. Further if it turns out that the suit was baseless and that the plaintiff sued for inappropriate purposes, and since he is an attorney, he could be found by the court to be liable for Rule 11 sanctions.

 

If a judge even entertains this case on the alledged facts when the scumbag lawyer/father who is suing was not even at the game and has NO first hand knowledge of what happened, the judge should be removed from the bench.

 

Did they not teach civics back when you were in school?

 

Shouldn't this go over to www.imnotalawyerbutiplayoneonSportsJournalists.com?

 

I have no idea what happened in this case, and I wouldn't even purport to guess. On the one hand, I would presume that an experienced trial attorney such as this batter's father would only sue if he knew he could win. On the other, he wasn't there, and if the whole case hinges on the opposing coach saying "Good!" in a fit of pique, I would find it hard to believe a judge is going to give this case the time of day.

My point is that a coach -- no matter how desperate a league is to have coaches, and no matter what good they did otherwise -- should be thrown out on his butt, or have some punitive action taken against him, if he is telling his players to hurt people intentionally, outside of the bounds and rules of the game. If a league doesn't make clear it doesn't tolerate that conduct, it's asking itself to be hauled into court someday.

Not the way you wrote it. 8)

 

I've got to think someone was shooting video of this thing.

 

Good point Dan.

 

Bob,

This is a pretty naive statement. Don't lawyers threaten to sue all the time? And what would it cost pops to sue, considering he's a lawyer. He still gets to drag the coach through the muck and cost him money, win or lose.
