Woman Blames Drunk Kickball League for Her Broken Clavicle

(CN) - A kickball league encouraged its teams to play drunk, claims a member of the "Kicking Under the Influence" team, who says her collarbone was broken by a drunken player on the tea
...

Galenski claims Waka Kickball "had a pattern and practice of actively encouraging the individual kickball players and teams to consume alcohol before, during and after the kickball games sponsored, operated, and controlled by Waka."

And she claims the players did as they were told: "many kickball players engaged in the open consumption of alcohol beverages before, during, and after the sponsored kickball games."
So blatant was it, Galenski says, that Waka "had a pattern and practice of encouraging and/or allowing obviously intoxicated kickball players to play kickball."

As a result, Galenski says, during a game on April 1, 2011, she kicked the ball and was running to the base "when an intoxicated player from 'Drinking 'Til They're Pretty' tackled [her]."

3. Well if her ass was playing kickball while drunk, her clavicle isn't the only thing broken.

Dumb broad....you place yourself in an inherently dangerous situation and then complain when something happens?

4. What the hell?

So she knows that they play liquored up, she plays anyway. Then she gets hurt and blames them?


Fail.

5. well, to be fair here

People know that some bars allow smoking, but go anyway, and then want laws to stop smoking at said bars because they don't like going there...or something like that.

6. This post calls for a Simpsons clip

Pretty sure kickball rules are the same...

(Although I'm not 100% certain she doesn't have a case against the person who tackled her, and by extension those who encouraged the situation - I don't recall kickball as a contact sport, so it sounds like she was assaulted by a drunk. Whether or not she was drunk is irrelevant.)

I'm not sure what is funnier, grownups playing kickball, drunken grownups playing kickball, or a woman complaining that she got hurt playing drunken kickball!

Hey does your DU name come from the movie about the guy who rode his lawnmower across the country to see his brother?
