Coomer The Hot Dog Douche Is At It Again!

[BossChief]

I have no dog in this fight, but for the royals to not have paid his medical bills for this is simply a douche move.

I can see the team (a multiple billion dollar industry) not wanting to be liable when a home run ball hits a fan and he/she gets hurt, but if Puig catches a ball and then fires it at a fan in the stands that isn't paying attention and that causes injury, the team should pay the medical bills AT MINIMUM.

Now, before you guys go all "haha yeah because Puig throwing a baseball at a fan and a guy getting hit by a hotdog are the same thing " ...I used that comparison to illustrate the difference between "normal expectations of a sporting event" and "something that happens outside the framework of a sporting event"...like getting hit in the face with a hotdog hard enough to detach a retina.

Sorry Royals fans, but that's just a douche move

That likely would have changed the outcome of the case. The assumption would be that the team was admitting responsibility.

Kind of like when someone falls down in your retail establishment. Though it's human nature, the LAST thing you want to do is apologize.

I agree. Royals were put in a tough spot. Can't say I blame them. Not only do they open themselves up for paying more than just medical damages, they also are being looked to by all sports stadiums to set a standard. If the Royals don't take a hard stance here, then all stadiums have to assume liability.

So I don't blame either coomer or the Royals for how they're approaching this.

They should have taken responsibility and made an effort to alter their promotions to assure it doesn't happen again.

Jmo but that would be the right thing to do.

And if you have a store that requires people to walk in it, you should be aware enough to make sure the floor is safe to walk on.

This analogy is gonna suck, but hopefully the jest of it is understood...

If I walk through a Sears and while I'm walking on a tiled floor an employee splashes soapy water at my feet, causing me to fall...and I sustain injuries...of course the store should pay my medical bills AT MINIMUM.

Not come back at me with "you should have noticed the employee was trying to do his/her job and provide a clean floor for our customers. It's your fault you didn't get out of the way. Pay your own medical bills"

Sorry, but like I said that's a douche way to run a huge business and unless there is something else at play here, the team should be responsible for its actions.

All he asked for was his medicals. It would have changed the outcome because it would have made the suit moot.

Moreover, settlement dialogue is almost universally inadmissible and any settlement would have had a confidentiality clause.

I'm starting to get the impression that you're talking out your ass.
