WOMAN STRUCK BY FOUL BALL HAS NO GROUNDS TO SUE
This is one of those classic "I can't believe this was even heard in a court of law" kind of cases (article here).
You can read the entire article, but basically what happened was this woman was sitting close to the action and got seriously injured when she was struck by a foul ball. It's sad that it happened, but there is no way that anybody can expect the Red Sox to be liable. As the judge decreed, the risk is assumed. If she just was watching the game, this probably wouldn't have happened.
After the court ruling she got off this gem of a quote...
"I'm more than angry. I was in critical condition," Costa told The Boston Globe. She said Red Sox management and players are "bickering over millions and millions of dollars to hit a ball, and when one of their fans get hurt, they don't care."
Such an ignorant comment from such an ignorant person. I love whenever anything happens regarding professional athletes and they drop the "they make X amount of dollars" as an attempt to make them look bad. Ms. Costa needs to go away.
