Red Sox fan Charles Hillios attended a Sox-Yankees game in the Bronx in 2007.  After cheering for a BoSox home run, he was followed to a concession stand by a pair of Yankee fans, who kindly helped him to the ground, where they could better kick him.

Hillios required eye surgery after the attack, and is now suing the Yankees, who claim that hey, man, you step into our stadium and cheer for another team, we can’t guarantee your safety.  Seriously: they’re saying it’s his own fault.

Hillios, who is suing the Yanks for the beat-down, “assumed the risk of foreseeable injury based on his own conduct,” according to a federal court filing. The team also contends that it’s “not liable for the alleged intentional conduct” of the two goons who battered the Bosox booster.

That’s right, the Yankees can’t be expected to control their fans.  Not unless “God Bless America” is playing.  This is what happens when you get douche-on-douche crime.   It leads to douche-on-douche litigation.
