I thought the different parties were negotiating a settlement.
I don't know what Genie is seeking as far as damages but one thing should happen as a result of this suit.

Players' health, safety, and security must always be properly provided during tournaments.
For some reason, the USTA failed to do so and Bouchard suffered injury as a result.
This should not have happened and hopefully won't ever happen again.

she didn't turn on a light and used equipment w/o trained staff.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

I doubt very much that person she asked for an ice-bath knew of those conditions. On noticing it the thing is to go find someone and say "Hey the lights are off, is it okay to go in?" OR IMO if not then it's on you.

or turn on a light....

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Rooms that shouldn't be accessed should be locked.

You'll have fun dealing with a concussion while paying off your student loans.

light switches are like magic wands-they make darkness disappear.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Classic example of an idiot posting on a message board. :lol:

Lets see how tough you are if you break a leg at a store for example because some slippery stuff had spilled to the floor. If you leave it at that then its not toughness, its called stupidity. :lol:

apples and oranges.......slippery floors need a caution sign but if genie doesn't turn on a light then how does she see it?

 

[TERRASTAR18]

I don't know if you've ever entered a locker room, let alone a locker room of a big sport facility like that, but usually the light switches are not accessible just by anybody and they are link to a timer....just saying everything is not that simple, it's not like going in your bathroom.

she didn't follow procedure-In the response, the USTA also claimed that the physiotherapy room "is never dark; even when the lights are turned off 'twilight' lighting remains and partially illuminates the room" and that the conditions alleged by Bouchard were "open and obvious."

[TERRASTAR18]

If dangerous conditions were so "open and obvious," the USTA wouldn't pay a penny. They'd be fighting for no fault in court instead of negotiating a settlement amount.

it is easier to settle.........they still host the us open and don't want the bad press hanging over them.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

"Twilight lightning" doesn't make it easy to see a puddle of water. If the room was closed, she shouldn't have been able to access it. She didn't break through it after all. As someone said, they wouldn't try to settle if they weren't in the wrongs.

they have signs that tell you procedures which she ignored and she wasn't suppose to be there by herself........plus she was notify like all the other players about usta/open protocol. she, like maria knew the rules but chose to ignore them and thinks she is special. and settling a lawsuit has nothing to do with guilt. it's a cost analysis. usta is a non-profit...lawsuits are expensive and can drag on for years.....the court fees and lawyer costs would be alot more than the $ 500000 they would settle with her for. plus the fact that they have a relationship with her cheif supporter/apologist stacy and they still trying to make the push the overrated blonde player thing happen(anna k,maria,oudin,this girl) they feel they can make more money long term. i disagree with this plan but it is what it is.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Can you provide the say "protocole" they gave to the player? Do you have proof of what you're saying? If this part of the facility was indeed closed, they should lock it. Plain and simple, if they don't they are in risk of accident happening, that is called negligence. It's the same as if someone is getting hit on the head on a construction site, a pedestrian is not supposed to be there, but if they had access to the site without breaking in and something happen, they are responsible, not the victim.

The rest of your analysis is pretty dumb, the USTA makes tons of money, they can afford lawyers way more expensive than Genie. There's speculation for $1.6M which is way more than a lawsuit would cost. Allistair has nothing to do with this since the USOpen is ruled by the ITF, since the big tournament in the US are very profitable for Stacy, she'd be dumb to put pressure on the USTA to give a player some money, and that even if it was Sharapova or Serena. If they want to settle it's because they feel that they are in hot water.

1-she wasn't allowed in there-But the USTA has fired back, stating Bouchard "should not have entered the physiotherapy room as she alleges without the express consent of, or accompaniment of, authorized personnel," according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

2-the usta is a nonprofit and their money is allocated to tennis business not frivilous lawsuits. and stacy is a genie backer so serena and the doper are irrelevant to this conversation.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Those articles don't prove that the USTA had informed Genie that this section of the locker room was restricted. They just claim that "she shouldn't have been there". Were there a sign? Did she receive instruction? If so where are those instruction? Do you have a copy? This alone wouldn't even be enough to rule out the negligence lawsuit. The locker room were still accessible, once again, she didn't break in, she simply walked in. This alone is a proof that Genie is being honest. The USTA, and the USOpen, is dealing with super stars, the fact that there's not someone on site being sure the facility is perfectly safe could be considered negligence on its own.

Lol the other part of your argument is so ridiculous and dumb that it's making your first argument fall apart even more easily. You just sound desperate. Stacy doesn't do anything to "favour" Genie, she has no power in tournament and your conspiracy theory is laughable. Serena and Sharapova are way bigger star then Genie, it would be way more problematic for the USTA if something had happened to them, you're so delusional. You're right though, clearly the USTA is poor as fuck if they can't even have their staff work for the whole duration of the tournament to be sure their client (the players) receive proper treatment.

article 16,18,21- she wasn't allowed withouht personnel...https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4PO6aMY4HP9bi1YYzNQbWpWRVk/view?pli=1

the physio room is seperate from the locker room.......number 2, it clearly states she has to go there with an official.....she violated that so she forfeits the right to a claim.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

This is no proof. This is the response to Genie's lawsuit. Everything that is said on this paper (both Genie's and the USTA's for that matter) has to be proved. Nothing that is presented can be used has proofs. It's as if Genie would have said "The USTA stole my car" and that the USTA would have said "No the USTA didn't steal Genie's car".
If the physio room is separated from the locker room and that she's not allowed to go in without the authorization of an authorized personnel how did she get in in the first place? Also, how come there was nobody to go in there with her or why was it closed when there was still players on the ground using the facility?

it was open,dark and genie ignored protocol........you talk in circles.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

yes you're right it was open and dark, therefore the USTA's fault if Genie fell. Thanks for finally understanding. The USTA probably realized the same thing and that's why they are trying to settle

there is a thing called common sense....like turning on a light before you go in or following the rules.........you genie stans are as delusional as doper's customers.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Don't you get tired spouting that nonsense? Its clear USTA was wrong and will pay no matter the amount of your delulu posts. :lol:

I mean why the hell were they even cleaning rooms before players left? And if they wanted to make sure its safe then this room surely needed to be locked out. There is absolutely no way around it. USTA was wrong. Why are u even trying? :lol:

the only nonsense is coming from you who thinks walking through dark rooms is a good idea....is it you genie? still got a concussion.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

lmao and you blame me of turning in circle? Where is that protocol? You have no proof of such protocol or that Genie was informed and that don't take out all the blame off the USTA's shoulders. The only thing it can do is diminish the settlement. Genie still shouldn't have been able to access that room if it was close, but you said it was open......so you're confusing.

Just do a little experiment for me alright? Go in a big facility, let's say a Wal-Mart and try to turn on or off the light. You probably can't!! So you stop that gibberish non-sense. If you believe that the USTA is being unfairly treated here why don't you generously organize a group of supporters and raise the settlement money?

If you believe the court of law would force an institution as big as the USTA who deals with millions of dollars per years to pay that much you're clearly idiotic. You talk about common sense but you have none. We're not talking about a few thousands here, but maybe more than 1 million! The court won't grant that for no reason.

you are a ranting lunatic.......again common sense and following the rules would've saved her......walmart has nothing to do with it.....walmat is a factory store.......the tennis center is more compact then that.......each room has light switches.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

As I said I wouldn't have used his comparison :shrug: I think the one about rape is much easier to understand. Whether this is a forum or the street it shows the reality of this world. If you think it, other people out there might think it too. I don't understand that way of thinking that because this is a tennis forum we can say all the bullshit that we want even if it may harm someone's reputation or well being. It's a public forum and there have been players that were severely impacted by comments made on the internet.


Everything you say is based on nothing more than speculation. You're the lunatic one. I go to the gym and there's no light switch easily accessible. I used Wal-Mart as an example as you think every room has light switches. You keep on talking about protocols but again you have no proof of it. Beyond all this, one thing remain unanswered and it is "how could she get in the physio room if it was closed?". If she could get in, it's the USTA's responsibility. Plain and simple. Quit with your fake protocol and your ghost light switches.

the usta rooms do.......

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Have you been in the women's physio room? Are they easily accessible? The thing is EVEN IF, which you haven't been able to prove beside "you say so" lol, she shouldn't have to be the one turning them on. You're good at repeating the same gibberish but you never answer any question. I don't know if you realize that it's not by repeating the same ignorant lie that it will come true.

it's common sense.......to prevent injury in a dark room you turn on a light.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Your estimate.

using common sense......this must be going on nearly 3 years.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

I believe Bouchard's lawyers are on contingency which means they get a percentage if she wins or a an agreed-upon fee or maybe even nothing at all if they lose.

Isn't weird that Tennis Australia is giving MD WCs to Bouchard while their Fed Cup captain is set to testify "against" her? I wouldn't want to be involved in that in any shape or form ...

they must still have expenses and are losing time they could use for other business.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Eugenie Bouchard is the modern day Traci Lords.

Not talented, will have to resort to selling her body for money. Sad.

She already is with pr dates.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Of course you know better than them.

Nope just using logic.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Yes, using logic while not having a clue about the agreement both parties have with their respective law firms.

Do you know It? Or are you just eating my time as per usual?
