A 17 year-old girl is suing the St. Louis Cardinals for publishing on the scoreboard that she has a Sexually Transmitted Disease.
During games, the Cardinals allow fans to send text messages which will be displayed on the scoreboard.
The girl was on a field trip with her high school last year when one of the other students, a girl of course, texted "A.B. (her name is not being released) has an STD! Eww!"
And that message was posted on the scoreboard for everyone in the stadium to read.
The lawsuit seeks at least $25,000 saying the Cardinals should have screened the message.
Clearly, the Cardinals did have a responsibility to review the texts and that never should have been cleared. So if this chick gets $25,000 for college that's fine with me.
But more interesting is the motivation of the texter. Did A.B. steal her boyfriend? Did her and A.B. like the same guy and this was her effort to eliminate A.B. from the competion? Maybe A.B. is the class slut. Maybe A.B. really does have an STD (the lawsuit says she doesn't).
But it's nice to see someone other than DT (do we have to call her DL now?) bringing glory to the term "eww!"
