Our children have learned that if they get hurt that someone should pay for this and pay BIG. What they should learn is, if you fall off of something or run into something, DON"T DO THAT AGAIN! Instead they sue and point fingers at all the people who made this bad thing happen.
As far as I know, that's how the world works. (I live in realville with Rush.)
It seems like you want a "world with round smooth edges" too. You don't want any danger of being sued. However, if we live in the real world, we have to recognize the danger of being sued. Patty Sexton was quoted as saying the following: "I'm extremely scared we will eventually be sued over injuries suffered in sports."

Rush thought so little of what she said he didn't even comment on it. Why? Follow the money: If a school gets sued for several millions of dollars, it's not going to come out of his pocket. He's only worried about his own financial interests. Football is a cash cow for the fast food industry and Rush is an extension of that industry (radio advertising).
