I'm just surprised Danica didn't do this first.

you need to look at the risk assumed when when playing each sport

If you really think the examples you gave are comparable to purposefully (maybe?) hitting someone with their car then you have issues.

Ha! Nobody was "believing" them, we were just talking about them.

I feel like there would need to be some level of intent proven. How you do that I don't know, I'm sure any video will go a long way to determining what actually happened.

No relevance whatsoever. Simple battery is a crime without a deadly weapon. If you walked up and takled someone on the street totally naked it's a crime. But not on the field. I am waiting for why the track is different.

You are suggesting punishing the result not the action.

Explain the difference. Dude should not have been on foot on an active track. Doesn't mean tony is not responsible for what his car does.


Maybe I misread what you said but there is a huge difference from someone running out in front of a speeding car and someone intentionally accelerating into someone who did that.

Well 3 of those sports they're using their hands or ball and in this one it's a ton of metal going at a high speed against a person not protected by a similar ton of metal

How is running over someone with a car the same as simple battery? Good luck convincing a jury that just because you race a car you can kill people.
