I'm just askin', because you know somebody would try to make the case that we're in charge and by bailing out, we were complicit in some way in a kid or kids getting hurt.
REPLY: Not really sure, but I would think that getting involved (pulling people apart, pushing people away, etc.) would put us in an even greater position of liability. I have a friend (lawyer) who is a renowned expert in the area of sports and the law. I'll ask.
