More bad news, Rams fans: Reggie Bush sues St. Louis over injury

After suffering a season-ending ACL injury when slipping on concrete surrounding the field at Edward Jones Stadium in a Week 8 loss to the Rams and hiring an attorney shortly thereafter, San Francisco 49ers running back Reggie Bush has officially filed a lawsuit against the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission.

The entirety of the lawsuit, which describes the surface as a “concrete ring of death,” is available online. The former No. 2 overall pick’s attorneys claim the CVC and St. Louis REgional Convention and Sports Complex “showed complete indifference to or conscious disregard for the safety of Mr. Bush and others.”

Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown had suffered an injury at the stadium when slipping on the concrete and hitting his shoulder on a padded wall a week prior to Bush’s ACL tear. Two weeks after Bush’s injury, prior to the Rams’ next home game, the CVC covered the concrete with a rubberized material.

Bush is seeking punitive damages as well as lawyers’ fees “in excess of $25,000.”

In a related note, the city of St. Louis has long been attempting to appease Rams owner Stan Kroenke with an offer of significant public funding for a new stadium in hopes of keeping the team in Missouri. The Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders all applied for relocation to Los Angeles earlier this week.

Bush’s lawsuit opens the possibility of an absolute worst-case scenario for St. Louis. The people could lose their team and the CVC — a government entity — could lose this lawsuit, burdening the taxpayers anyhow.
