I am my parents' adult child. One's children last forever.
Maybe not, as long as snyder still spends in a haphazard fashion like he did in 2000 ;)
It might be a bit harder for Snyder to dominate the NFL as you think. He has to deal with the $$$ he still owes on the building of Fed-Ex field. It's the teams who have tax payer funded stadiums who might really make out like bandits here.
Yeah, nobody in a wheelchair should be drinking a beer or watching sports--or even socializing!! </sarc>
For those who don't know and haven't bothered to find out, the autistic 20-year-old daughter in question also has physical disabilities; the mother doesn't use the placard when the daughter isn't with her.
What....you mean boring tennis matches of back and forth down the field with meaningless scores, no defense to speak of, total focus on flash and style rather than results, "good strategy" consisting of intentionally getting penalties, narcissistic individualism, etc.? ;-)
OK. I will take that pop. That question was a bit insensitive.
Permission to revise and extend my remarks (err, questions)...
Do this woman and her autistic 20 year old daughter frequent this sports bar? Does this mother allow her underaged daughter (regardless of physical or neurological limitations) to drink while frequenting this sports bar? If they do not frequent the bar, why do they care who parks where in the bar's parking lot? Is this parking lot on public or private property?
My question about how long she had to stalk these people before being able to file her complaint still stands.
It is not my intent to come off sounding adversarial. I have a nephew who is wheelchair bound because of cerebral palsy so I do have some understanding of the issues. Because of that personal connection, I make it a point to challenge people who park in handicapped spots without the proper tag or decal.... but I do it when I see it, in person, and in places like Wal-Mart or the supermarket. I don't make a crusade of it and I don't see the point of mounting such a challenge at a bar.

Two Eagles guilty in handicapped parking
GLASSBORO, N.J. Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter were found guilty Wednesday of parking their trucks in zones for the handicapped, although both players said they were not behind the wheel at the time.McNabb was ordered to pay a $256 fine and $33 in court fees. Trotter, who had parked illegally twice, was ordered to pay $512 and $66 in fees. The Philadelphia players were in court during separate proceedings.
Athletes have no need to park in handicapped spaces. They can even afford a taxi in case they are going to a place [like South Beach or Manhattan] where finding parking is difficult.
