Nobody in Bengals’ colors seems to be succeeding: Organization sued after skunked fans fall on lady

When you invite 70,000 drunk Bengals fans over for a massive three hour party that will most probably end in pitiful defeat, bad things are going to happen. More specifically, drunk fans are going to fall on helpless women and shatter all of their bones. That’s what happened to poor Rebecca Dunn, a Kentucky woman who had the misfortune to bear the brunt of two Bengals fans who got a little too tipsy at Paul Brown Stadium and made a choreographed swan dived onto her extremities.

Now she’s suing the fans who fell on her, the vendor who served the beers and the Bengals organization that put a team on the field so terrible that fans had to drink themselves into oblivion so they would forget about what transpired. Anyway, I guess the lesson you can get out of this is always wear a helmet when you’re doing anything in the state of Ohio. From the Huffington Post:

Rebecca Dunn and husband Curtis Dunn of Owensboro, Ky., say the two men sitting behind them were served several drinks at Paul Brown Stadium before they fell on her, breaking and gashing her nose, breaking her finger, and causing bruises, sprains and other injuries. Their lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages for past and future pain and suffering and medical treatment that they say has cost $20,000 so far.

“As a direct and proximate result of their intoxication, (the two men) lost control and fell” on (Rebecca Dunn), causing “catastrophic injuries” that required nose surgery and continuing orthopedic and other medical treatment, the lawsuit says. The incident also broke her $700 Oakley sunglasses and caused the couple to incur other expenses – they had to spend the night in a downtown hotel because the stadium garage closed after the game before they could retrieve their car, the lawsuit states.

As an Eagles fan who has gone to exactly one game at Lincoln Financial Field and from what transpired there has no desire to ever return because of how horribly irritating drunk fans can be, I can understand how miserable an experience a football game can be when idiot people around you drink too many nine-dollar beers and start to think anything that pops into their head is comedy gold that must be shared for the sake of everybody in the stadium. It’s the worst. I couldn’t imagine going through that AND THEN having a couple of drunks cause $20,000 worth of damage to my body while trying to cheer for Carson Palmer as he throws pick after pick. Seems like something Job would have to endure.
