I was more using it as an example for how far it could slip. People sue grocery stores for slipping in the isle, and win. Sue Hershey's for having too good of chocolate, and win. Sue McDonald's for too hot coffee, and win. It doesn't seem out to lunch that this could end up with similar laughable cases.
Also what about the judge? Would you need one with knowledge of the game since you're suing within the rules of a game that involves a lot of rough play?
