   Fans do not have legal standing or a cause of action simply because they are unhappy with how a team performs or acts on the field, if fans were allowed to sue for breach of contract every time they were disappointed with the performance or conduct of a player, there would be an unending string of lawsuits across the country.

   Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim, the California bill is significantly different than the legal framework and enforcement mechanism of the life-saving Texas Heartbeat Act, this legislation adds a private cause of action for manufacturing or selling ‘ assault rifles, ’ or breaking other gun control laws, all of which are already criminal offenses in California.

That’s why you have a rubric, and when you misuse the rubrics by saying, ‘It’s any other serious offense.’ Then you know they don’t really have a cause of action to justify what they’re doing. They’re making it up as they go along.
