    Fan sues Sunderland over ball in face injury


    Sunderland are being sued by a fan who was
    injured while watching the team train, the chairman has revealed.
    Niall Quinn was responding to a question during a BBC Radio
    Newcastle phone-in about whether fans were still allowed to watch
    training sessions.He said that legal action was ongoing after the supporter was
    knocked out by a stray shot.
    The Premier League club has declined to release further
    details about the incident.
    Niall Quinn said: "We had a supporter who got a bad injury,
    "I think it was one of Djibril Cisse's misses where he had a
    shot from 20 yards.
    "I'm making fun of it now, but it knocked a supporter out. It
    was quite serious.
    "That supporter is in the process of suing us right now."

    This probably could only happen at training because I am certain tickets most likely mention that you need to pay attention to the action to prevent this happening. Sounds like this guy is pretending to be a massive idiot and thinks he deserves money since he had no warning about the potential of this to happen. If this happened in the states I think this guy might win this, not sure about the UK legal system. Over here I think the person suing would win maybe $10,000 at the very max.

    He will never win, not even if it was in the USA. There is some kind of rule (forgot what it's called) that says a person cannot sue someone for an action that can be expected. If you are at a football stadium or training ground, it's expected for balls to be flying around. Just like it's expected for balls or bats to be flying around in a baseball game.

    Anyone that gets knocked out by a football which hit him from maybe 25ish yards away is a pussy
