But no, he simply sat in his car, knowing that this young boy was in deadly danger on his field, and did nothing to prevent that boy's needless death, even though it was the job Mr. Booth accepted and for which he was paid. Please award this family Mr. Booth's life savings and more."?

First off I cannot forfeit the game

Second: I did MY job that I am paid to do meaning I vacated the field

Third: In all likelyhood the kids parents, legal guardian etc. are in attendance,
The AD / Coach / or League administrators are also in attendance.

If it was me no-way MY kid would go onto the field during a thunder / lightening storm.

I am not an attorney but I doubt my life savings would be awarded to the family ESPECIALLY if the family was in attendance and allowed THEIR kid to go onto the field.

The parents would be the ones teary eyed.

My job is to vacate the premises. After that it's up to the coaches etc. to handle.

But no, he simply sat in his car

Which is where we are supposed to be as the car is one of the safest places to be during a thunder/lightening storm.

You must be an attorney looking for business.
