Will New Major League Baseball Stadium Netting Decrease Injuries?

Every year, more than 1,750 baseball fans are injured while watching the pastime they love at major league stadiums, Bloomberg reports. Hazards from lightning-fast foul balls are exacerbated by decreased reaction times, as more fans are staring down into smartphones at games than ever before. Last year, a toddler was pummelled by a 105 mph line-drive foul ball at a New York Yankees game and experienced a broken nose and orbital bones, as well as bleeding in the brain. She is just one example of vulnerable fans who have been severely injured at baseball games.







New Lawsuit Alleges Uber Drivers Discriminated Against Texas Woman with Cerebral Palsy

Did Uber discriminate against a woman with cerebral palsy in Texas? One lawsuit thinks so. According to a lawsuit filed earlier this week, D’Edra Steele was denied rides from a number of Uber drivers on “approximately 25 separate occasions” between 2016 and 2017. In the lawsuit, Steele claims that “drivers repeatedly canceled rides because she requires the use of a service dog” and as a result, she has accused “Uber of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Texas Human Resources Code.” She currently hopes to receive damages for “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
