    Danny Amendola’s father has filed a lawsuit against Cowboys Stadium seeking more than $1 million in damages for a mishap involving a golf cart.

    Willie Amendola and his wife Valerie, the parents of the New England Patriots wide receiver, have sued for an accident that happened after the Texas Class 5A Division II Championship Game on Dec. 17, 2011. Willie Amendola’s Spring Dekaney team captured the title with a 34-14 victory over Steele and after the game the coach was speaking with several reporters when a runaway golf cart struck him.

    According to the San Antonio Express-News, the unmanned cart struck Amendola and carried him on the front of it for several yards before he rolled off, an end zone pylon had fallen on the accelerator and forced the cart to move across the field, and the video is actually scary.

    Willie Amendola did not appear to suffer serious injuries at the time, according to the report but, Willie Amendola says he suffered pain and he has sued for mental anguish, loss of earning capacity and loss of enjoyment, he also said the video caused “great personal embarrassment.â€￾

    Your son just became a multi-millionaire and you need to file this Judge Judy piddly crap over whats going to end up being relative pennies, if anything at all? Id never be able to look at myself in the mirror in the morning if I sued someone over some crap like that for such embarrassingly pathetic reasons.

    To a halfway normally functioning human, being in that video should be a crapload less personally embarrasing than the act of suing someone over it, if you ask me. That crap is sorry.

    I never knew that was Amendola's father, lmfao. Welcome to the 2000s, where people will sue for anything.

    What's Danny care? He already spent time with the Cowboys and they didn't want him right? Not like he'll ever have to negotiate a deal to play there. Lol...

    i was speaking of the embarassment of having parasite parents that are the type that would sue for 'mental anguish'.

    i purposely don't associate with people like that and if someone in my family was the type to do that, i'm not sure what i would do.

    Its the kind of thing that could affect his standing in teams eyes too...sign Amendola, you run the risk of a hot dog vendor spilling ketchup on his dad and have him sue the team for the great personal embarrassment and diminished earning capabilities something like that causes to a person. That definitely has to be taken into consideration in future contract negotiations.
