seriously though? what in the right mind of fuck? sueing because they don't have warning labels? It's a god damn alluminum bat, you think of the consequences that thing could do, by a shitty mishap or something, it' honestly about as pointless as a fat guy sueing Mc. Donalds.

also, Amaterasu when we arrive and meet in japan, sushi is on me.

Guarantee you the'll be some more lawsuits like this now. Every family who's kid got beaned by a baseball (or softball) will try it also. Some might even call for an age restriction to be put on them.

I'm instantly reminded of this song.

"Oh yeah? Well i have the right to my opinion and my opinion is that you have no right to your opinion!" George Carlin. RIP old fuck.

well ,thinking about it there have been so many fucked up cases that it's not even funny. i mean a robber broke iton a store and broke his leg escaping and he sued and won? What in the fuck kind of bullshit is that? are the people getting paid behind the chair just fapping off and falsley listening to people? It makes you wonder if the human race is doomed to more stupidity in the "not so distant future".

also, that song is the theme song for this whole thread, enough said.

Can't you guys still feel a little sympathy for the family?
I hope they know money won't bring their son back however, why sue the bat company? Shouldn't the kid have had better protection instead?

Team Fortress 2's scout comes to mind in this case though...Bonk.

"We never expected it," she said. "We just hoped we could get the truth out for more people to see."

Do you guys smell that? It kinda smells like the putrid scent of an ATTENTION WHORE!

There's no such thing as a good memory. They all make you sad.

It does make sense that wooden bats should be used. But idk about sueing the bat makers, more like the league who let the bats be used.

Well, while they're at it, why don't they sue the ball company for making a ball that was "too hard."

As much as a feel sorry for the family, why must someone or something always have to be blamed, even when it was purely a tragic accident? Or is an "accident" no longer a valid reason for anything?

I should beat the parents with a bat

Then they'd sue me for not having a warning label saying i will beat the shit out of someone.

the maker of Louisville Slugger baseball bats failed to adequately warn about the dangers the product can pose*

ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING RETARDED? Jesus Christ use some commen sense for fucks sake. Bats can hurt people when you hit a person with it. Use your fucking brains!
