Coomer The Hot Dog Douche Is At It Again!

[Eleazar]

This is one of those cases where negligence seems to be laughable. You're at a ball game. Besides, during the hot dog launch they show that nonsense on the scoreboard, how could he have been looking at it and not thought to look at where it was happening?

He wasn't suing for punitive damages. He wasn't suing for pain and suffering. He just wanted the Royals to pay his goddamn medical bills because their employee threw something that directly caused his detached retina.

As has been already stated, the Royals should have just paid his medical bills in a confidential settlement. It's really kind of a douche move not to.

A few things....
The idea that the fan should be aware of risks should only apply to the game itself. Not stuff that happens between innings. It's not like we're talking about a foul ball here.

It's pretty simple. If a person wants a hot dog, toss him one. If the person doesn't, leave him alone. If he's not paying attention, pretty obvious that you shouldn't toss him one.

That's where the negligence comes in. Dude didn't want a hot dog and was tossed one anyway. Why was he tossed one? Because the mascot was showing off and throwing no-look hot dog tosses behind his back which means he had less control for where the hot dog was going. Ever throw a ball behind your back? How accurate are you? Even dude was paying attention, wouldn't it still catch him by surprise when a hot dog he doesn't want gets thrown at him from a really weird angle at a low arc?
