How did I miss this? The Super Bowl could be cancelled or delayed?
Beverly Walker, an activist for the disabled is trying to force the hand of the City of San Diego to comply with a 2001 settlement agreement concerning disabled access to Qualcomm Stadium, and tickets guaranteed to the disabled. The city is 9 months behind schedule in providing disabled access, and Walker wants to force their hand by cancelling the Super Bowl.
Legal 'experts' claim that there is little chance that the Super Bowl will be cancelled, but that hasn't stopped Amy Vandeveld, Walker's attorney from saying, ''We want the court to deny access to Qualcomm Stadium for all events, including the Super Bowl, until all modifications under the settlement agreement are resolved."
So what does all this have to do with the Super Bowl? Nothing. They are seizing the Super Bowl publicity in the same way that Martha Burk is picking on the Masters. The Super Bowl is being held at a stadium where Walker has a beef, and the Super Bowl is the perfect opportunity to turn up the heat. While some may think that her intentions are noble, she sure sounds like an opportunist and a Grinch to me.
It won't happen.
My guess is that she's being handled by Bruce Henderson, the city ass fucker. The man opposes anything and everything and costs us tons of money in legal fees. Of course, when it came to planning the new ballfield in San Diego, what did the city do? They put HIM on the committee. I'm hoping it's an unpaid position (I'm not sure, though).
The SuperBowl won't be cancelled. Our judges aren't that stupid. But, Beverly is.
