Are these gimmicks worth the risk
One of the things I've never come close to understanding is the outrageous levels of excitement for betweeninnings promotions at the ballpark. It seems completely out of whack that a crisply turned double play will garner a polite golf clap, but an Michael Koenen Black Jersey animated bagel participating in a race against a cup of coffee and a doughnut can work the crowd into a frenzy.
Usually, these little gimmicks Michael Koenen Jersey are over in a minute and then the silliness is immediately erased from memory.
Assuming this is really what happened, it boggles the mind that someone would discard their fellow fan to the ground in pursuit of a cheaply made XXXXL Tshirt that will probably used to wipe off the dipstick during an oil change in a matter of days.
What is the attraction? Is it the momentary thrill of being part of the action? Is it the chance to get your mug on the Jumbotron?
I'm all for fun, and if diving after trinkets in the stands is your idea of a great day at the ballpark, then I can accept that. But perhaps someone out there can explain the draw of having to tote around an illfitting Tshirt the rest of the day and then never wear it.
The Nike Michael Koenen Jersey suit filed in federal court in Hammond, Ind. Cellular Field and the Pride Team as defendants.
The defendants are liable for more than $75,000 in damages because they
were "engaging in an abnormally dangerous activity, namely, shooting
free Tshirts as projectiles into an unsupervised crowd of spectators,
some of whom may not have been sober."
Then arises the question if suits like these have merit. Are risks like this knowingly accepted when a patron takes their seat at the game?
Clearly, acting some level of decorum would alleviate incidents like this, but do teams http://www.officialbuccaneersfootball.com/Black+Michael+Koenen+Jersey need to eliminate these promotions to keep fans safe?
I'd say that would be a bit of an overreaction, but can also recall a time several years back when I witnessed firsthand an elderly man being struck square in the face with a soaking wet nerf ball. His day, and his hot dog were ruined.
