Argumentative Essay: Troubleshoot Court
If you're looking for a way to kill the basketball league, you should call a man named Perry Johnson of Chicago, Illinois. I think he’s found it.
Around 3 years ago, Perry’s 16 year old son, Lucas, got a steal and he started running up the court. The problem was, Lucas normally did not get that much playing time and did not know how to play basketball. In fact he had never stolen the ball before. So, when he went up for a layup he completely missed the hoop and fell on his head and got a concussion.
So what did his dad do?
He sued.
He sued the coach. He sued the assistant coach. He sued the manager. He sued all of the kids’ on the team's parents. He sued the referees. He sued everyone except for the kid that he stole the ball from. …show more content…
Perry said that the local basketball league had the wrong type of rims. Double rims. He said it was everybody’s fault but lucas.
And just 4 months ago, he settled for $100,000.

If you're looking for a way to feel good in this crazy world, you should call the Carls of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I think they have found it.
Joe Carl and his wife, Barbara are the parents of Marcus,16. While trying steal the ball from an opponent during the team's first practice, he broke his elbow. He was out of action for the entire season.
And what did his parents do? …show more content…
A lawyer of its own and a mountain full of paperwork.
What if Lucas had missed the shot but did not fall on his head? Would his dad have sued the kid he stole the ball from? The designer of the ball?
I called Perry but he did not answer. I called hs attorney and he put me on hold about a thousand times.
Imagine that.

So what did the Carl’s do with Marcus when he was hurt? The spoke with his coach, Marty DeGrass, and asked him if there was anything Marcus could do to help with the team.
DeGrass thought about it and said that Marcus could do the scorebook.
So, Marcus took hours out of his time to learn how to do the scorebook. He showed up to every game in the year -- in uniform-- and kept the score. He even kept the shots taken for every player.
“Someday I want to own my own basketball team.” he said.
After a while of the score keeping, his parents had no plan to sue.
