Listening to sports radio in Nashville. Question posed: “Would you attend a live sports event?”

Maybe anecdotal, but in a city with a major social and political cross section, the replies were 50/50 (and that’s now).

Same would apply to concerts, fairs, etc. Hell, everything from to Foot Locker to Starbucks.

Want to go? Sign a bulletproof form.

Could it be an umbrella-type thing to do online? shite, people are doing less and getting thousands in Govt Cheddar.

As a player that can’t see when venues will open again (and has signed NDA’s aplenty) I’m just spitballing.

I want to work this year and am trying to figure the frick all how.

TIA

I think a lot of businesses are talking with their lawyers about this very thing.

IMO it's not the waiver you sign personally.

It's the person signing the waiver who has the virus (possibly even unknowingly)

Who spreads it to you

Then you spread it to folks who had no connection to the event

that being said, open everything up and lets roll

assumption of risk - if you take yourself to a sporting event it's on you. Nobody forces you to go to a football game. No need for a waiver. Torts 1

Right on. Waiver may be the wrong language, and language is everything here.

I want to shield my employer/business. And have sit-down endless salad

Code art. 2004. Any clause is null that, in advance, excludes or limits the liability of one party for intentional or gross fault that causes damage to the other party. Any clause is null that, in advance, excludes or limits the liability of one party for causing physical injury to the other party.

Waivers would indicate there’s something you actually have a claim for

Proving causation with coronavirus is impossible

Exactly. This is why those "waivers" you sign at your local trampoline park don't mean shite. They know that, but get you to sign believing you will just walk away when something happens to your kid. Not in Louisiana.

You can’t legally waive personal injury in Louisiana, only property damages.

State laws vary on this.

Mrs. Lammo is doing wonderfully. She made crawfish etoufee (with Tony's crawfish tails today) and is making chicken enchiladas with red sauce tomorrow.

TD is a great aggregate news source.

If link is bullshite, you’ll get carried a couple rounds and buried.

If this thread sucks, then so be it.

You must have taken a break from TD yesterday... if you hadn't you'd know I was continuing the roast of JBE's fatfaced comm guy.

I’ve said for weeks I honestly believe most SEC schools could sell out their stadiums if they held a game right now


Might have to lower ticket prices some but the fact is football is a religion and we in the south will go
