Unfortunately, while I can certainly sympathize with the man and his family, this letter leaves many important questions open. I also don't want to watch games through a fence from now on. |
The netting behind the goal line in the NHL is the direct result of a young girl getting killed after being hit by a puck in Columbus. A lawsuit against the Columbus team was settled for an undisclosed sum of money. The netting proved to be a much more cost effective solution to any more of these freak but tragic events.
Baseball already has netting or screens and always has.
But fans should not expect to be protected against all possible injuries at a sporting event. It is the job of all fans to be prepared.
