Here's good advice (please don't take it)


Bryan Stow’s family is suing the Dodgers over his parking lot beating.

The suit says Stow was “inappropriately exposed to the aggressive acts of third parties" because the Dodgers "failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the attack on Stow.”

"It's fairly simple," said attorney Thomas Girardi. “The Dodgers have shown a total disregard for public safety. They've gotten rid of security people, they've had all these incidents at their games, more than other teams, there's also a known gang presence. What did they think was going to happen?”

Considering the suit is filed in L.A., where Dodger owner Frank McCourt is about as popular as rabies …

Considering information from his recent ugly divorce from Jamie McCourt indicated the then-couple let stadium security slide while they siphoned off money to support a lavish lifestyle …

Considering that since Stow’s beating, the team has greatly increased security — even engaging the former chief of the LAPD — thus essentially proving part of the Stow family’s case, I offer a word of advice to McCourt:

Settle.

As of today, the Dodgers were planning on fighting the suit in court. Just like the Frank fought Jamie in court. One more word of advice, Frank:

SETTLE.

Still, it won’t bother me if you don’t. Like your divorce case, these court proceedings promise to be most interesting.
