Every jackass excoriating the guy for seeking his medicals would have done the same thing and most would have asked for non-economic damages as well (paid and suffering). This guy was extremely reasonable but because it was there beloved Royals, clearly they shouldn't have to pay anything.
Like I said: jokes on you guys because the royals definitely paid more to defend this than that's have paid to just make their fan whole. This was a callous, horseshit, David Glass move all the way. Nothing about this suit was frivelous.

I agree. Though I don't really blame the royals for how they approached it. Even if they lost a lot of money, I'm sure they were trying to establish precedent. A loss for the royals but a victory for stadiums nationally. Sad, because this guy deserves to be compensated. But you also don't want to send the message that all injuries in the stands, even those caused by fan negligence (which was not the case here, in my opinion) are now in play
