There is no reason a 40-year-old man should be fighting for his life over a football game.
That should not happen in a civilized society, but every single week of the football season we see all-out brawls in the stands and parking lot.
Many times people are injured.
Luckily most of the time it is just a black eye or busted lip. It is shocking that more serious injuries like that happened to Daniel Luna.
Police are investigating the apparent beating of a San Francisco 49ers fan found severely injured in the parking lot of SoFi Stadium during Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Rams. Daniel Luna, a restaurant owner from Oakland, remains hospitalized at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in what Inglewood police said was a medically induced coma.
Luna, 40, was discovered on the ground by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics in the stadium’s Lot L about 4 p.m., half an hour into the Rams-49ers contest, said Inglewood Police Lt. Geoffrey Meeks. Luna was wearing a San Francisco jersey and black pants, Meeks said.
“They believe he suffered from an assault at the stadium to his upper body and facial area,” Meeks said. Detectives are working with stadium officials to determine what happened to Luna, he said. “We are relying heavily on video to try to identify the people involved,” he said. “We are going to leave no stone unturned.”
He said that Luna still had his watch, wallet, and phone when taken to the hospital, suggesting robbery was not a motive.
I hope that the video cameras catch what happened, people don’t just get randomly beaten at sporting events and left for dead.
The fact that no one called 911 while someone was bleeding on the ground is sick.
Once again we are supposed to live in a civilized but we rarely act like it.
