How to handle threatened litigation, 1974 edition

Posted: 24 Dec 2010 08:10 AM PST

This is classic.  The Cleveland Browns football organization received the following letter, dated November 18, 1974:

Gentlemen:

I am one of your season ticket holders who attends or tries to attend every game. It appears one of the pastimes of several fans has become the sailing of paper airplanes generally made out of the game program. As you know, there is the risk of serious eye injury and perhaps an ear injury as a result of such airplanes. I am sure that this has been called to your attention and that several of your ushers and policemen witnessed the same.

Please be advised that since you are in a position to control or terminate such action on the part of fans, I will hold you responsible for any injury sustained by any person in my party attending one of your sporting events. It is hoped that this disrespectful and possibly dangerous activity will be terminated.

Very truly yours,

Roetzel & Andress

By Dale O. Cox

My how society has changed in the past 26 years … PS – note in the comments that a person allegedly contacted Atty. Cox and verified the exchange.
