Ill. teen sues Cardinals over message
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

ST. LOUIS -- A teenager from Illinois is suing the Cardinals, claiming she was ostracized at school after a crude comment about her was shown at the ballpark last year.

The message appeared on a scoreboard that allows fans to display custom remarks via their cell phones. According to the lawsuit, she was at a game with her high school in May 2006 when a female classmate sent the offending message.

It claimed the plaintiff “has an STD! Eww!”

The girl, then 16, is identified only by her initials — A.B.

The suit, filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court, claims that the “shame and humiliation” she suffered forced her to stay out of school, take her final exams in a separate office, and seek psychological counseling.

Almost all of her friends were at the game, the suit says, and afterwards “boys that she was friends with would no longer associate” with her.

hahaha that's hilarious! But they really should have someone screen the messages. I'm surprised this isn't already done.
