I'm generally with the people who are saying this is not as big of a deal as people are making it but also just because a player is a Chiefs player doesn't mean you support them blindly no matter what they do.


That's some TrueFan idiocy. I can't believe people are out here shitting on Jovan Belcher just because he murdered his girlfriend then blew his head off in the Arrowhead parking lot. Nice fan base. Maybe if you really feel that way you should go find another team to ‘support’ in your own shit-ass fashion, bitches.

Texas has a punitive damages cap, though.

Appears to be double the economic damages. And they won't be able to establish even $500K in economic damages (pain and suffering fall under 'non-economic' damages).

So that's just a headline grab. Admittedly I've not dug into exceptions to the cap that may be allowed in certain circumstances but I'd be surprised if there are any/many. The nature of punitive damages in a personal injury matter almost preclude it. You only award punitives in cases of gross negligence in those cases (or willful disregard) and those would be the most obvious instances to make an exception. Well if you wanted to except those, you just wouldn't have the cap at all.

I mean look, if they can establish some lunatic 'continuing care' sort of fund that gets the economics up to $500K, it's gonna be plenty of pain for Rashee. That's probably going to be something like $500K in economic, $500K in non-economic and another million in punitives for a total of $2 million.

But even that feels INCREDIBLY unlikely. It's more likely to be $100-$200K when all is said and done.

Guy ain't gonna get slapped for $10 million. Just more sensationalism.

I'm more than happy to "shit" on people that do stupid shit like Rice did regardless of whether they are a Chief, a Devil, or a Brave. My being a fan doesn't force me to tolerate stupidity from people on the team.

I caught the same bullshit from Braves fans for saying McCann and Morton can both suck unwashed cock and all they did was cheat in baseball. Takes like yours is how we wind up with politicians holding office for life despite the shady underhanded bullshit they pull. Excuses and swerves because they are on "your team".

GFY

Money/attention grab. Assuming he bought reasonable amounts of BI liability insurance then 99 times out of 100 they will just max out bi limits. You rarely hear about it going further than that. A judge won't let it.

He was using his leased Lambo to defend those cars from the psycho driver in the Vette. Lucky he was there or it could have been much worse.

I think we can all agree that the lesson here is to send your friend with the bag away to seek medical attention while you wait at the scene.

So, a 5% chance is "almost" happening?

Man, the things I've ALMOST done.
[Reply]

Lol, right back at ya, dipstick.



Try to comprehend this: I have said repeatedly that what Rice and his friends did was in very poor judgement, and also that they should be punished appropriately.

But what I've been careful not to do is trash Rice as a person over what might be just one bad decision. Before I start calling him trash and so forth I want to see what he has to say for himself and how he behaves/makes decisions going forward, simple as that.


It's called giving people the benefit of the doubt.

If anyone is interested and has time, read the entire article in this link, I’m amazed how Jamin Davis of the Commanders has been able to stay under the radar. The only reason I’m aware of this is because the fatal crash happened about 10 minutes from my home.

Jamin Davis wasn’t driving the car that the woman was killed in but he is allegedly involved according to the lawsuit.

Did this ever make the news in the Kansas City area? I’ve never seen anyone mention it when bringing up other players who have been caught driving recklessly prior to Rashee’s incident.

Explain how exactly your “no tolerance for stupidly from people on the team” will manifest itself moving forward.

Are you going to boo Rashee everytime he makes a play for the Chiefs next season… as you watch on from your goat farm?

Explain.

If an idiot in a car next to me pulls a stunt that has a 5% of killing or seriously injuring me, I would like to see them go to jail.

If someone slightly annoys me, I would like to see them go to jail.
