For those of you who don’t know who he is, he is the current, but soon to be former, owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball team.

So, why is he an Asshole?

Dodgers say Bryan Stow shares responsibility for attack

LOS ANGELES — An attorney representing the Dodgers and owner Frank McCourt filed has filed a lawsuit alleging that they are not to blame for the assault on Giants fan Bryan Stow.

In fact, the lawsuit goes as far as to insinuate that Stow is partially responsible for the parking lot beating that left him in a coma.

“I’ve been doing these cases for 23 years and I have never seen one yet in which it didn’t take at least two people to tango,” McCourt’s attorney Jerome Jackson told ESPN.

Does Jackson know that Brian Stow was an instigator of the attack? Of course not, he’s just throwing mud at Stow as part of his defense of a lawsuit. So, why is McCourt an asshole and not Jackson?

Well Jackson probably is an asshole, but McCourt as the client could well have told his attorney not to make any public statements on pending litigation.

I’ve been involved in many cases over the years where victims have been brutally assaulted and they did nothing to instigate it. I’ll wager that I’ve seen more cases than has Jackson, and I know that there are some people who will assault others for no comprehensible reason. It doesn’t always take “two people to tango”. Yes, I know that sometimes the victim does in fact instigate the attack by saying something provocative. I also know of cases of serious assault where the “provocation” was as simple as saying hello to the wrong young woman, bumping into someone accidentally and spilling a beer, or even just being on the wrong street at the wrong time.

Oh, and then there’s this,

Report: MLB says Frank McCourt looted $189M from Dodgers

For the first time, Major League Baseball put a specific number on the amount it alleges Dodgers owner Frank McCourt took out of the team — $189.16 million — and described the distributions as “looting.”

However, amid the legal and financial fine points of the Dodgers’ bankruptcy, Bryan Stow could emerge as a pivotal face in the case at a critical hearing next week.

Stow won’t be there, of course. But, with his representatives sitting on the official committee of creditors, attorneys for the Dodgers and the league are expected to cite Stow in their arguments in a Delaware courtroom.

Hey McCourt, maybe if you weren’t diverting Dodgers revenue to pay off your personal debt and buy items not related to baseball, you’d have been able to hire better security. Or at least have money to pay a settlement to Brian Stow and his family. Instead of having your lawyer play blame the victim. By the way, how much is that lawyer going to cost you to try to litigate this? I’ll be you don’t stiff him like you have your players and staff.

Did I mention that Frank McCourt is an asshole?

Just saying.
