Hey The Black Hand, what do you think the MFL is-the Midget Football League? That would be awesome! Oh wait...maybe it should be the LPFL. The Little People Football League. If I offended anybody out there, I truly apologize.
The Little People's Football League? I think we've covered that. :) Good on Cincinatti, though. This is so disgusting- it's of questionable constitutionality, and I'm curious if a fan would have the legal right to a full refund if the patdown is not clearly labeled on the ticket. Seems like you can't be forced to be patted down by anyone, public or private, without a right to refuse. IANAL by any stretch, but isn't it the case that you can't make some give up their rights? If you've already paid for the ticket, could they spring a surprise pee test on you as well? I can see if they were a private facility, saying "you can't come in without a patdown", but if the possibility of a search wasn't clearly identified before you bought your ticket, could you get your money back? And while private locations have the right to refuse entry without, say, a search, I would also raise the question of whether the venue can be called a private location at all, as opposed to public, if the taxpayers paid for the bulk of construction- as is often the case in pro sports stadiums these days. Sounds like in the Bengals' case, the usual asleep-at-the-wheel "elected" representatives gave the team too much latitude in controlling the stadium. Hm. I think if I were a multimillionaire, I'd amuse myself by having a good lawyer permanently in my employ, and testing the legality of these and many other actions. It's sad how many people just willingly toss away their rights.
Actually Hal, I wasn't talking about the Madden glitch. I was trying to make a joke about mid..er..little people playing in their own league. I guess it went over your head. Get it, OVER YOUR HEAD? Ahhhh Ha Ha! I am hilarious! By the way, you misspelled Cincinnati. I'm sure it was just a typo.
I made a typo---I alway make typos---leave me alone....
Hal great questions about getting money back if you didn't know about the search. Yes you could definately get your money back if you bought your ticket and then leaned about the search and you decided not to go. Terms of search must be on ticket or clearly stated with your ticket ie attached paper or somthing like that as I understand it. However when buying tickets there are often terms on them and you may not know of the terms before buying. Like when you buy concert tickets online and you get them and there are terms like cant bring in a sode etc. If you purchase ticket and agree to the terms you have entered a contract and cannot breach contract. If you do not agree to the terms of the contract you do not have to accept the contract and get your cash back. Bilateral contract customer is OR then becomes EE when EE comes up with new terms aka counter offer. Initial OR is now EE with new terms ie search) if accepts then contract aka decide to go to game. See ProCD INC v. Zeidenberg 1996 google it. Thanks for giving me opportunity to use my studies, to test myself, in an applicable real life situation. good day
What the hell is the issue here? I don't think I've ever got into a football game without a patdown.
Yeah but you live in the repressive UK where soccer hooligans are a common occurrence. We're more civilized over here ;)
T$PORT4lawschool- SportsFilters offical lawyer- Hal, here is your lawyer you dream about. :)
What are they patting-down for anyway? Has there been a threat?
Wouldn't a metal detector make more sense... Unless it was protecting concessions revenue. That last one don't fly with me, becuase I'm still sneaking Liquor into games, and a soda is only a buck less than a beer.
