Chicago Bulls fan sues Derrick Rose for missing season due to injury

[UrbScotty]

25-year-old Matthew Thompson of Peoria, Illinois is suing Rose for missing the entire 2012-13 season–despite the fact that Chicago still managed to make the playoffs as a No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference The man claims that Rose sitting out for the entire season has led him to numerous problems such as mental breakdowns, emotional distress, and even obesity issues.

No–this is not a joke.

While it’s difficult not to feel bad for any of the problems Thompson is having, the fact that this lawsuit was filed to begin with is embarrassing. Rose is overcoming a torn ACL suffered in last year’s playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers and considering how serious this type of injury is–the last thing the Bulls needed to do was see their star guard return to the court too soon that would put his knee at risk.

The fact that Thompson is trying to put the blame on Rose’s decision not to return to the court yet despite being cleared by doctors has to be one of the most ridiculous things in the world. Injuries in sports take place all of the time and Rose has every right in the world to return when he feels most comfortable.
