Rodney shows up in Reno

The title made me think of a song. :grin-square:

Rodney shows up in Reno to play a little Keno.
US Open 10 ball champ did not come there to camp.
The man wants to hold him down and tells him he must turn around.
They all expect him to frown but the smile he wears is his crown.
The fans passing two cents realizing this makes no sense.
Rodney shows up in Reno to play a little Keno.

great poem Lenny
 
Hey, is it acceptable for Rodney to post whatever he wants on his personal Facebook page?

I'm not sure that your position on the matter is clear....

It most certainly is acceptable. Once posted, he is responsible for all the fallout that follows. No one else. Period!!!!

Possibly (although Rodney did not threatened Mark or CSI with any violent action, he merely expressed his opinion). Simply put, hotel contracts merely place liability on whoever signs.

In terms of public accommodation, it varies by state.


Here, it's very simple:

Beware - Nevada law has protections for "expression" as well as race, religion, etc.

I know someone who sued under similar circumstances. She lost because of her own actions on the premises, but had sufficient grounds to sue, get to court, cost everybody a ton of money etc.

I never stated that Rodney threatened violence. I mentioned that his actions could be construed as being dangerous. Someone can be a danger to a business or environment without being violent.

The thought of Rodney suing CSI is beyond laughable.

Rodney can post anything he wants on his Facebook page.

The only problem is when he applies for a job, his future employer can also review his Facebook page to glean any information that might affect his hiring practices.

Applying for a job..:eek::D:thumbup::D....what the hell am I thinking.

Go ahead Rodney post anything you want!
 
If I were running the event, the law that concerns me is this law:

"NRS 651.070  All persons entitled to equal enjoyment of places of public accommodation.  All persons are entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity or expression."

Most places the public has access to are considered public. For example, your home is not public but the restaurant you own is public.

"Expression" - ouch!!!!

True, but I doubt that areas leased/rented/reserved are considered fully open to the public. Rodney could go to the lobby, he could enjoy the casino, but that freedom likely ends when wanting access to a private event that allows public spectators, an event he had already known that he was banned from. If I told Jake that he couldn't come to the birthday party that I was having at Denny's(because I'm classy like that) in their reserved group area, but he showed up anyways, I would think that a court would uphold his removal from that area and that he could even be held liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress or one of those 'public disorder/nuiscance' laws. Also, I doubt the court would uphold his end if he tried to claim his libel/slander(what does FB count as?) as expression.

I really don't think there's any way for this to end well for him without a really good apology.

"Expression" - ouch! That is a broad brush.

So if there is a wedding at a hotel, I can just walk right in and join the festivities. Or how about a seminar? Just pull up a chair and hear what they have to say.

A lot of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You keep insisting that the room CSI leased is public. I contend that it is not.
Furthermore, Rodney's "public declarations, statements and pronouncements" are very much germane in context to his removal.
 
Like Earl, if you seen him in person you would have nothing bad to say to his face.

What is it with all this "You would not say it to his face stuff" I am 6'2 and 240 am I suppose to be scared??? Justin is 6' 5" and 300 is he suppose to be scared??? Most people on here are average height and weight and Rodney is a formidable man. As well as, Earl Strickland.

I am very comfortable with my post and statements as are others on the forum. I believe you need to focus those statements to SPECIFIC post and statements and stay away from such broad sweeping general statements.

So I'm trying to anologize(is this even a word?) this situation to a real life event that most of us normal people can relate to...

I have a friend. He insults me one day and I get upset and tell him we are no longer friends.

The next week, I have a birthday party at my house, and I have invited several common friends of ours and have told him personally that he cannot come. I have also told my other friends that this is not a +1 party, and they are invited specifically.

I walk out of my bathroom and find the ex-friend who insulted me, sitting in my living room. I throw him out, not knowing if he's there to apologize in person, or to create havoc.

Am I wrong or right?
 
Wow, if true it was a dumb move on his part.

Normally I'd agree, but I wonder if it wasn't out of necessity. IDK. Don't know Rodney well enough personally to say one way or the other.

What I do know is that he didn't cash very high in Sacramento and I'm fairly sure he's traveling with some of the other pros who attended the tourneys in Bellflower and Sac. He may have just been looking to bark up a game and try to make some money gambling, who knows. I didn't see him in any real heavy action in Sac, just $50 practice sets with other pros (which he was winning, mainly)

Whether or not you agree with the whole Rodney vs Mark/CSI thing, you have to understand that the guy is trying to make a living. True, he may have burned a bridge or made a bad move, but he's gotta figure something out.

I don't know if you knew this, but that's what we do here. Mole Hill to Mountain in 3 pages or less. additional pages will be charged accordingly...

I would estimate that "laughable" accurately describes a good percentage of the lawsuits filed. I also would estimate that most of those result in some sort of monetary settlement and are expensive to defend.

quote the entire post next time "big guy".. this has nothing to do with being scared, you wouldn't tear a strip off either guy about their etiquette, in fact i'm willing to bet you would smile, shake their hand and introduce yourself.

this ridiculous thread is being hijacked with more stupidity, take care comb your hair

This is certainly not,what happened. Rodney knew beforehand that he was banned after having direct contact with Mark, BEFORE the event started. It was also known that mark was NOT going to be at his event at the time this happened.
 
Put Rodney in front of me and I'll tell him how he wronged me. If he then apologizes, I'll accept it graciously.

And you being sarcastic to me is your right & doesn't really bother me at all just to be clear.

You'd first have to find an attorney who would take this case on contingency. Rodney has no money to speak of. An attorney has to weigh the risk of time, the likelihood of winning/losing and the consequences of bringing a suit in this jurisdiction that is likely to fail.
