Spurs being sued by fan at Heat game

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Jack's gonna settle this out of court.

[spurspokesman]

I don't even know what to say other than to state lawyers have hit a new low.

Money is the root to all types of evil. Some people are pure walking s i tell you. SMH

On a more serious note, the fact that Stern made such a big fuss about it and actually "fined" the Spurs, could give this lawsuit more credence than it would have otherwise. Stern may have screwed the Spurs and the league in generally, more than he actually wanted to with his little pity-party.

This was my first thought exactly. What has Stern done? Gave fuel to this fire.

Also, isn't there something in the fine print, that players may or may not play and it's not a guarentee your favorite player will play...

[Mister Sinister]

Wat.

[DarrinS]

This would set a terrible precedent.

[Strategic]

I think the owners will have to defend this one because of what will happen in the last week of the season when teams are trying to rest players? What is the difference in what Pop did in Miami as opposed to players suiting up but not playing?

[maverick1948]

I would award the man 10 million dollars, if he can show me anywhere on the ticket that Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili would be guaranteed to play. You dont even get that when you go to the AT&T Center.

The man is an idiot, no other word for it.

[LakerHater]

This dude should sue the Marlins for all the thats goin on there!!
Also, sue Heat front office for raisin the value of the ticket for Spurs games!!

[Arc]

i know violence isn't the answer, but i really want to punch this guy in the face.

[hater]

don't forget it was Stern who opened the door to these lawsuits.

If this amounts to anything, all gates of can break lose and it will all be because of the fat comishioner.

don't forget that.

Let me guess, he is a Jew? J/K

On Monday, Larry McGuinness filed a class action suit in Miami-Dade County,

Sounds pretty jewish to me. I heard his son is named Moishe.

[look_at_g_shred]

And what happens when a player is suspended and the fans have already paid money to see them?? This is just ing bull !

[widowmaker]

Can I sue lakers for not playing Howard, gasol, and hill last week?

[BillMc]

Sometimes you go to a play and the understudy performs...

Sometimes, you go to a restaurant and they're out of your favorite wine...

If it bothers you a lot, you don't go back a second time. You don't sue. This country is litigation nuts!

I am in the Aerospace Business and when you buy your airplane tickets, you normally see what type of plane you will be taking. However, many times schedules get shuffled and you might get put on a different, available airplane. You paid for the ticket, you get the trip, and you arrive at the destination. Nobody is suing airlines for flying in a different airplane.

Same deal here. You buy a ticket for the game. It states CLEARLY on the ticket: Spurs vs. Heat. Your ticket doesn't say: Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Danny Green, Tiago Splitter vs. Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, etc. The Judge will simply laugh and no case will even be made.

true. I wonder if I can sue for game 6 of last year's WCF, or perhaps the 2002 WCF. That caused mental and physical damage.

Stern is such a POS, he's created like this with his disregard for objectivity.

That seems like a really, really bad idea.

[Blake]

They should be suing the Marlins instead.

[DDUBB1770]

Shouldn't take Stern long to come to bat for the spurs, bringing in the leagues big time lawyers to squash this crap, after all he makes fair and rational decisions with every team under the NBA banner right? Yeah this case may see the light of day in state court, costing spurs money, but if it makes it far enough thrown out in federal for sure.

[timvp]

That seems like a really, really bad idea.

No kidding. Emailing anything to a lawsuit happy lawyer is not a good way to spend your free time. . .

[Hoops Czar]

Brings new meaning to the words 'frivolous lawsuit".

Were suits filed in Massachusetts and D.C. for these games?:

Interesting how you chose two games in late April where players were rested to prevent injuries before the playoffs (every team does it) as opposed to a game in November. Surely, you can do better than that.

[swaggerjackson]

No way he wins this. For once the NBA will have the Spurs back. Because if he did win it would bring a host of other similar lawsuits against other teams. It would set a terribly unfavorable precedent against the NBA. The NBA front office, which is full of lawyers, should be coming full force to make this sure this guy loses.

Quit being a deliberately obtuse got.
