That seems to cover it, imo.
And really who cares if the kid was embarrassed for a few seconds. Are we now saying that we can't allow anyone to be embarrassed or there should be litigation? Because that's stupid.
Public apology is worse than not saying anything at all. Usually written by someone other than the person who was actually involved in the situation.
If Adams was truly sorry he would have shown it as soon as the kid hit the ground.
His apology was nothing more than attempting to get a lesser punishment. [Reply]

You just described "The Autumn Wind".
Seems you know a thing or two because you've seen a thing or two. [Reply]

See that is your problem. It is not about being tough. All you had to do was be man enough to admit it was a mistake. Instead you try to play it off as a joke. [Reply]

Why should this kid sit around while others profit by playing the game? Because you'll think a little less of him? Pffff.
Your opinion won't change his life or do a damn thing for him. That money will though.
You're simply being a hater right now.
I guess I am.
The kid has a job. He's paying his own bills with his own money. But the American dream now is to take other people's money for negligible reasons, bordering on scamming people, because 'that's the game we're playing.' As if there's some requirement for all of us to be a litigious POS, according to you.
How about this: typically, if you injure a finger at work, the average compensation is about $2000-$5000. Is that enough, or do we need to charge more simply because the kid may have felt some embarrassment. The kid went to the hospital for what? A slightly scuffed butt? What's the ransom for that?

Why would I admit a mistake when you were the one that made an inaccurate assumption?
Instead you pretend to know everything about everything and then get pissy when you find out you're wrong......can't have that :-)
Like I said, maybe worry a little less about me and a little more about you.
