So a family has filed a lawsuit (http://www.wftv.com/news/2545369/detail.html) against the NFL because of what a fan did to their daughter.

HACKENSACK, N.J. -- The parents of a 2-year-old girl paralyzed in an accident caused by a drunken football fan have sued the National Football League.

Ronald and Fazila Verni claim the NFL promotes the kind of behavior that led the fan to drink 14 beers at a New York Giants game and then drive home.

The New Jersey residents first filed their suit in 2001, but refiled Thursday to include the NFL and its commissioner as defendants. The Giants, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, and the fan are among the other defendants. He's been sentenced to five years in prison.

A lawyer for the Giants told The Record of Bergen County that it's a tragic incident, but the team and sports authority aren't to blame.

The NFL forbids beer sales after the third quarter. The Giants shut down beer vendors at the start of the third quarter.

Wow, where does it end? I love our legal system. They'll probably win.

Sometimes "Justice" is too blind my friends.

What type of "Accident" was it?

If it happened AT the game, then the parents a fucking retards. You don't bring 2 year olds to a fucking NFL game.

It sounds like a drunk driving accident.

This is a shotgun lawsuit, probably prompted by the actual guilty party's inability to shell out a lot of money. Shoot at enough targets, and you might hit something, especially with a paralyzed toddler to parade in front of a jury.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's thrown out.

Yeah, that's right. The NFL made him get shitfaced and drive home. The NFL also causes skin cancer and hemorrhoids.

Maybe they should sue Ford or Chrysler for making a car that let's you drive drunk?

God knows I'm getting drunk at the STL/ATL game this Monday. God knows I won't be driving either. =>

Down with Vick!

And sue the road paving crew for putting down the street, and the line painting crew for not making their lines stick out bright enuf so the drunk couldn't see which side of the road he was on... Oh, and sue the beer company for making such a mentally dibilitating beverage...

Just another showing that people don't want to put responsibility on the people responsible.
