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.

The netting behind the goal line in the NHL is there to stop the puck after it passes the goalie.

No, it is there to protect the fans from the puck and is a direct result from the fatality in Columbus.

You can, as they say, look it up.

I notice this whining little [deleted] doesn't give a single detail about the incident and why, precisely, Trenton Thunder management should be responsible.

Feh. This guy is definitely part of the problem. Something bad happens, it must be Leviathan's duty to impose its oh-so-subtle touch to correct it. Guys like this vote, which is why New Jersey has the laws it does.
