CFL Streaker is suing due to injuries suffered when player tackled him

Last week a fan ran on the field at a Canadian Football League game and was flattened by Marcell Young, a defensive back for the B.C. Lions. Now that fan says Young injured him, and he has hired a lawyer.
The fan’s lawyer released a statement saying he “suffered serious injuries, including a mild traumatic brain injury, as a result of being violently struck by BC Lions player Marcell Young.”
The fan was fined $115 for trespassing. He obviously didn’t belong on the field, although the CFL (and the NFL, and any sports league) would probably prefer that players let security handle it, rather than get involved in apprehending runaway fans themselves. In the days of Mike Curtis, a player could get away with decking a fan. But these days, fans can be quite litigious.

Glad to see it is not just America that is overly litigious.

I would hope the court tells him to eat a dick. He assumed the risk of being lit up when he stepped on the field.

Dude was just defending himself. There's no telling what someone crazy enough to streak a CFL game is capable of.

Since this is Canada of all places, I assume he'll be awarded massive damages glad I live in America where common sense mostly prevails

WTF is "mild traumatic"?

I wish they would just use snipers to pick them off instead.

Another example of someone breaking the law, and the consequence is...gonna get paid.

The player just needs to say he felt threatened

That’s kinda like running into a gunfight and getting mad you got shot.

Stepping onto the field has to be considered trespassing right?

Here is your video of the hit. Enjoy!
I enjoyed how they played Curb your Enthusiasm theme song after the hit.

I remember when Larry Leo first posted the video of the hit on the homepage. I believe my comments were something to the effect of "somebody bout to get sued"...
