Ed - you really think this a new concept? People have been doing that for years - this is not new. It isn't right either - but, my point was that in todays litigation crazy country, any excuse for a lawsuit. How many times do you see folks go to court over accidental falls, or opportunities that shouldn't even be considered but are. Yep, it disturbs me that anyone would gain monetarily from this situation, but lets face it - you know its gonna happen. Let me tell ya about the time I was almost attacked by a Professional football player at the Silverdome - he was sure that I said something bad about his poor playing. This also was a case of mistaken identity. I used to have seats in Row 1 - Seat 1 and 2, at the 40 yard line behind the visitor bench. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, some guy with the visiting teams jersey snuck down and sat in the row behind me - started giving his own team alot of guff (his own vulgar motivational speech about how pathetic they were playing) Must have hit a nerve with the player that turned around and threatened to rip my head off. I didn't say a word to him, I was shocked and was afraid for my life. The security guards were there in a second and luckily they saw the guy that was giving it to the opposing teams players and took that guy out. The player that screamed at me didn't say or do a thing - no apology, no nothing. Mistaken identity. The opponents QB (Trent Dilfer) also saw the entire thing that had happened and came over and apologized and gave me a set of wrist bands and some other stuff. I'll never forget how a person wrongly mistaken feels, and luckily I didn't get hit. I really don't know what I would have done - legally that is (if I had survived). So, as unfortunate as it is - there will be opportunities for people to sue others - some with merit, but many without.
