Stadium vendors and a drunken drive case fuel moral clash
Mitch Albom argues a New Jersey verdict awarding 135 million dollars to the family of a paralyzed 7 year old shifts blame from the fan to stadium vendors who profit from alcohol sales. He calls for venue alcohol limits and criticizes the broader sports culture that normalizes drinking before and during games. He warns that without harsher rules, stadiums will remain hotbeds of intoxication and risk. He stresses the vendor’s role is not one of life and death trust. He notes the case against Aramark and the fan, and questions tort reform while honoring the injured girl and her family. He closes by inviting readers to write with views.
