Yep, but I'm pretty sure it's spelled Pteripatetic.

So Pteripatetics were herbivores?

I was reading that Christian Wood bought the lady he beamed with his wild pass in this game court side tickets - which I think was a lovely gesture of his.

https://www.insideedition.com/woman-ends-up-with-fracture-and-concussion-after-getting-hit-at-charlotte-hornets-basketball-game

“I got hit so hard in the head, I honestly had no idea what happened,” Fitz told Inside Edition. “When I stood up I was disoriented and my ears were ringing.”

She said her vision also went black. Fitz ended up in the emergency room with a concussion and a hairline fracture in her cheekbone. She also had swelling and red marks on her face, she said.

Fitz said her doctor told her that she won’t be able to return to work for three weeks. Fitz said she was also upset about what she said was the reaction to her injury.

Also mentions displeasure with Hornets broadcasters:

“There was definitely a laugh from the announcers and a comment 'she seems to be OK,' but I took a basketball to the face,” Fitz said.


for serious?

I mean, you’re walking court side of a basketball game while live action is taking place. Have some awareness of your environment!!

It’d be like walking into traffic with your eyes closed then being pissed off if you get hit by a car.

Feels like someone looking for their 15mins - and maybe a little gravy from the Hornets on top of the free tickets Wood so nicely gave her.

I don't think you can blame her for being kinda upset, having to miss 3 weeks of work and have everyone laughing at you for Woods disastrous screw up and being offered tickets to a Rockets game when you live in Charlotte is just like adding insult to injury while laughing at you

I mean, who's gonna spend money to fly down and back to Houston, stay in a hotel or whatever to go to a Rockets game cause you got some free tickets..that's basically an empty gesture

Up next - chain link fencing around the court and football helmets distributed to every fan. If you don't wear the football helmet you face a $500 fine and up to 6 months in prison.

Sucks for her, but sometimes you fall off your bike. I remember catching a baseball to the forehead when I was about 12 - stepped out of my mom's car and 'thwack.' Stitched up and back in school same day. Old man yelling and stuff.

A gesture that didn't have to be made at all.

She can sell the tickets if it's that big of an issue.

She's looking for $$$$$$$$$ is all it is
