Speaker A:

When Bad Gets Blamed for Everything this is commentary from James Brown.

Speaker A:

A fan is suing the Colorado Rockies, claiming their lousy play caused him to get hit in the head with a fall ball.

Speaker A:

His logic?

Speaker A:

The team is so bad, fans stopped paying attention they started socializing instead of watching the game.

Speaker A:

Now, I've seen some creative lawsuits in my time, but this one made me pause.

Speaker A:

Not just because it's ridiculous and it is, but because.

Speaker A:

Because it's almost logical in a backwards kind of way.

Speaker A:

As a Buffalo Bills fan, I've sat through some miserable seasons, and I know how losing teams can make your mind wander.

Speaker A:

But I never blame the team when I spilled cheese on my shirt, let alone soothe them.

Speaker A:

Here's the truth.

Speaker A:

Bad baseball didn't hit that, man.

Speaker A:

A foul ball did.

Speaker A:

That risk has been part of the game since the first pitch was thrown in.

Speaker A:

1800 something.

Speaker A:

This feels like peak blame culture.

Speaker A:

Everything is someone else's fault except your own, even physics.

Speaker A:

Yes, the Rockies are bad.

Speaker A:

That's on them.

Speaker A:

But staying alert in the stands?

Speaker A:

That's on you, dude.

Speaker A:

So what do you think?

Speaker A:

What's the most creative excuse you've heard for dodging responsibility?

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

On that note, I'm James Brown, and as always, be well.
