When exactly did filing lawsuits become the new American pastime?

Approximately 1,000 fans are suing Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys for not providing adequate seating at the Super Bowl. I may have been inclined to support the fans had they not already been offered a rather nice settlement.

$2,400 and tickets to next year’s Super Bowl or tickets to any future Super Bowl with airfare and hotel accommodations included.

The lawsuit is currently seeking a whopping $5 million, but under Texas trade law, the suit could be seeking triple that amount.

Instead of choosing one of the generous offers, the fans have opted to legally pry a whopping amount of cash from the Cowboys that they didn’t earn. I usually get nauseous looking up at the injury attorney billboards alongside the highway, but this is enough to make me puke.

Jerry Jones is a despicable man, but not even he deserves this.
