However, if she is lying to get a payday then she may as well go to Hollywood and get it honestly cause she is putting on one heck of an acting job. In short, none of us can say if this is fact or fiction, but if true, its definitely some very rare, freak incident that would likely never happen again at a Bills game. Either way it looks like she will be a multi millionaire from this. No shot. doubt even the security companys insurance company will agree to any of this. it will open up a huge can of worms for the future. there will be so many lawsuits of people claiming they don't remember anything from their past. its not like its a spinal injury that confines someone to a wheelchair . anybody could say they lost their memory there is no way to diagnose it unless they take some sort of polygraph test maybe.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Real or not this incident described leading up to the affliction is what I think about when considering taking my kids to a game.

I had a hard time remembering things and places for several weeks. I feel terrible for this women. I can't even imagine if this happened to my wife. As for the lawsuit, as someone said earlier in the thread, bad things happen to people. I know someone who was in a car accident and had a broken collerbone. Couldnt work and she is self employed. The guy had some BS insurance that wouldnt even cover the cost of her now totaled car. So she missed work, lost wages, needs a new car and its because some guy ran a red light? She hired a lawyer to make sure she got was she was entitled to and all those things were now covered Why shouldn't someone get what they are entitled to in a situation like that? Or for this poor women? this is the reason you don't take women and children to football games especially in the 300 section where the hardcore unruly fans sit and go wild.

Richmond_Bills Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 A guy that I know has a son who fell and hit his head on a tile floor. Kid had no idea who his family was. Also - the parents are from a Spanish speaking country, but the kid was raised in US, so fluent in both English and Spanish. He had no idea how to speak or understand Spanish. No joke.

I'm sorry, but if this is true, the Bills are absolutely responsible. I mean, if I, as an out-of-town fan wanting to go to a game, go online to buy tickets do they come with a warning "warning do not take women and children to this section it's only for unruly out of control would-be-alpha chest pounding drunken males"? Because if not, how is some out of town fan know this is a bad idea? It's an event open to the public with professional security. There is, or ought to be, a reasonable expectation of personal safety there. 5 1

Strangely enough, I can't find any online definitions of the slang term"snowflake" as "innocuous and humorous". I can find this: Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions. Common usages include the terms special snowflake, Generation Snowflake, and snowflake as a politicized insult. I agree with NewEra that calling remarks stupid (or a bad take etc) is not the same as calling the person who made the remarks stupid.
Golden*Wheels Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 The MacDonalds' lawsuit alleges that an allegedly inebriated Bills fan from Canada shoved a female fan who was standing in front of him. The female fan tumbled forward, landing on people sitting in front of her and colliding with the back of Rodriguez-MacDonald’s head, the lawsuit alleges. CLASS ACT If true I hope they take him and to the cleaners.

Did the stadium security allow a drunk into the stadium? Even if the idiots fighting were stone cold sober the facilities did not factor into the damage received.

Although not the point of this thread, if you are not in the US (or a very limited list of non-US countries) you can't access it, period. I.E. for those of us deployed, they just outright block it. Because you know, all the US military who are deployed are hacker/cyber-terrorists. Yes, I can use a VPN. Which, if I actually were trying to hack the site, is exactly what I would do anyway. They block it because it doesn't match up with their advertising profile. Even though anything I buy is from the US. Their loss. 1
