From Associated Press, ST. LOUIS (AP) - An Illinois woman is suing the St. Louis Cardinals for allowing a text message that falsely suggested her daughter has a sexually transmitted disease to be posted on the ballpark's message board during a game. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court, claims the 17-year-old girl was so traumatized by the message last year during a class trip that she stayed out of school the rest of the semester and took her finals in a school office to avoid ridicule. The lawsuit seeks at least $25,000 in damages from the Cardinals, alleging the ballclub negligently failed to properly screen the messages, which fans may submit for a small fee to display on Busch Stadium's electronic message board. The Cardinals "published the text consciously disregarding whether the text was true or not," the lawsuit reads. Messages left Thursday with the Cardinals and the family's attorney, Bob Perica of Wood River, Ill., were not immediately returned. The lawsuit, which identifies the mother only as "C.B." and the daughter as "A.B.," does not name a classmate who allegedly posted the message. According to the lawsuit, the teenager was with her classmates at Busch for a game against the Kansas City Royals on May 19, 2006, when a girl schoolmate called the ballpark's message board and, using the daughter's name, texted, "(A.B.) has an STD! Eww!" Workers for or agents of the Cardinals "approved the message to go on the board," and it was posted during the game that drew a turnout of more than 48,000, the lawsuit claims. The teenager never has had a sexually transmitted disease, according to the suit. The Cardinals "owed a duty of reasonable care to all fans in attendance," including the teenager, and breached that by posting the defamatory message "to anyone who could read," the lawsuit alleges. 註: STD - Sexually Transmitted Disease 感想: 果然如美國老師(那個給我C 的機車老師)所說, 告要告有錢的. 原本是同學闖的禍, 現在卻要紅雀來擔. 對於沒去過球場的朋友(哇哈哈), 我來稍稍的解釋一下. 文章裡面提到的Message Board 其實是兩塊 不太大的電子看板, 掛在第二層看台邊上, 介於一三壘跟外野之間. 在比賽中, 你可以花個幾塊錢(好像是 $5.99) 傳個簡訊, 成功的 話會秀在那兩塊看板上, 可以秀個 I Love You 之類的短訊. 這次的 問題就在於看板上也有寫 All message are subjected to approval, 紅雀就是被告沒有盡到事先篩選的責任. 相關鏈結: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7423170 裡面美國人的討論也蠻激烈的, 只不過大部分是爆笑 XD -- 出國就是為了回國 入團就是為了脫團 (煙~) --
