This is good. I mean, outstandingly good. Infreakingcredible, really. A Houston lawyer is planning to file a class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball on behalf of Houstonians because they got sick sitting out in the cold during the World Series. From this article:
She claims some fans got sick because they weren't given adequate notice that the roof would be open and therefore, weren't prepared for temperatures in the 50's.
Never mind that the myth that cold weather causes the common cold or flu has been debunked over and over, but the game was in Houston! It's never cold in Houston. The temperature got down to the '50's. No matter how you slice it, that is not cold. It's an objective truth. The irony is that people at Minute Maid Park during Games 1 and 2 were less likely to catch a cold or come down with the flu than had the roof been closed because they were exposed to fresh air.
I love truly frivolous lawsuits. On the other hand, perhaps this whole thing is a hoax -- I'll be following the story with bated breath.
