You really don't seem to understand some pretty basic shit here. It's truly hilarious that you see a case whereby the Missouri Supreme court established negative precedent for the Royals as a 'win', especially when they spent tens of thousands more in the process and ended up doing next to nothing that would truly deter the next possible plaintiff.

I understand them being a multi-million dollar business matters, I said SHOULDNT matter. I didn't say doesn't. Notice I said "SHOULDNT" all in caps. Theres alot of things I don't agree with in terms of public perception and the judicial system.
When did I say anything about this case having a binding effect on future court cases or anything like that? I said you don't want to create the expectation that if someone gets hurt on your premises, you will just pay them or cave on their demands. Con artists and people looking for a quick buck COULD potentially capitalize on the Royals if they would just pay out for things they are not negligent for. I don't think the Royals were looking at this from the stand point of + or - of the amount of money they lose.
