And Rory would have grabbed the loose ball and launched a 3. While calling glass.Jordan Spieth would have held up his hand and stopped Lebron dead in his tracks.
Lebron James ran her over while chasing a loose ball.

And he is old, isn't that ageism old people matter too #oldlivesmatter
This crossed my mind, too, but they are getting paid to sit there and get the best shot they can. Workplace hazard different than paying customer.It's no different then the photographers sitting on the baseline for games.
Effort and situational awareness.
Just sayin'. My $.02.
This is 100% different than the LeBron situation. Wall had his legs under him and was able to jump straight up. Lebrons weight (270 lbs) was moving sideways and down towards the ball. Not sure how you could expect him to stop or jump over her in that situation
He said if she had still been pregnant he would have jumped over her!!
I'm trying to make a light hearted, tongue in cheek joke. Sorry that's not coming across in writing. I suck at sarcasm.
Hate to drag this out, but I just spent like an hour researching this and learning (my favorite part) something new. I love learning new stuff.

I found two citations that kind of lean toward the fact that basketball is doing it wrong, and hockey does it best.
This article: http://www.bmpllp.com/files/1314291201.pdf has great info in it, especially when it comes to distractions in stadiums. There is apparently a case to be made for being distracted by the jumbotrons and taking your attention away from the game. It also discusses, again, the duty of stadiums to provide fair protection of invitees even though they are aware of inherent risks.
City of Milton v. Broxson, 514 So. 2d 1116, 1118 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987). In discussing a duty astadium owner owes to it spectators, "[w]here an invitee's knowledge of a dangerous condition will adequatelyprotect him from harm, an owner's duty with regard to the condition is limited to giving proper warning, whererequired. The invitee can be expected to protect himself against such risks. However, where the danger is of such anature that the owner should reasonably anticipate that it creates an unreasonable risk (a player entering the stands forcefully) of harm to an inviteenotwithstanding a warning or the invitee's knowledge of the danger, then reasonable care may require thatadditional precautions (moving fans back) be taken for the safety of the invitee."
(*emphasis my own)I'm past the point of blaming Lebron but stand by my assertion that the NBA needs to take away all those seats.
But I still think, and maybe it's just me being a decent guy, that going full bore into a row of spectators is kind of unnecessary. And I know most of you disagree with me. My point of that one video is that the dude tried like crazy NOT to plow into fans....while still saving the ball. James just said eff it I'm going in hard.
Backwoods Lawyer T0AD says the NBA should be held liable based on the rulings and assertions made above and in several other legal docs I read today, because those seats aren't safe, no matter if you're aware of the hazard or not.
Where's Seth to straighten me out?
