On February 24 of 2010, I made a post about John Coomer who was suing the Royals for $25,000 for injuries suffered to his eye when a hot dog, thrown by a mascot in a Lion's suit, struck him.
He suffered a detached retina and injured cataracts. So the law suit seemed, to me anyway, to be an easy one to win. I wrote at the time that I thought he should sue the Royals for more than 25-grand. How much is someone's eyesight worth? More than $25,000 for sure.
Well, the case reached its conclusion yesterday and...John Coomer lost. That's right, he lost. How? Well, the Royals said that Coomer should have taken more protection for his personal safety. The jury agreed so no money for Coomer.
What a joke. The guy went to a baseball game and I'm sure he didn't think he had to worry about protecting himself from some guy in a lion's suit firing hot dogs at his face. Also, why wouldn't the Royals, supposedly a big league team, do the right thing and pay for Coomer's medical expenses? Do you think the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels or any other team (maybe except the Pirates) would fight the guy in court. He suffered serious eye injuries because he went to your park and got assaulted by flying meats.
Coomer's lawyer must be horrible too. How do you lose this case? Seriously, how bad a lawyer do you have to be to not be able to get the team to pay for your client's injuries?
Sometimes the system stinks and if I were Coomer, a Royals fan by the way, I would never have anything to do with this cheap-ass, suck-ass and ass-clownish organization. Screw the Royals. Every fan in Kansas City should move to a town that has a real team. I hate the Royals.
