Idaho Court’s Baseball Rule Balk Could Impact Other Sports
March 28, 2013 -- Law360
In an article about the Idaho Supreme Court's recent decision declining to adopt the so-called baseball rule, which prohibits fans injured by foul balls from suing team and stadium owners for negligence, Herrick, Feinstein Partner Daniel A. Etna is quoted on the impact of the ruling, saying, "I find it very unlikely that this will result in a paradigm shift for sports fan injuries nationwide. It's one out of 50 states, and I think it has to be viewed through that lens."

March 16, 2012 -- QSR Magazine
Dan Etna is quoted in “Athlete Franchisees Build Fast Food Careers After Sports” which discusses the appeal for athletes in investing in franchises. Dan explains that athletes are routinely pulled into hospitality and entertainment ventures, seeing them as “low-hanging apples on the tree of forbidden fruit” that athletes can’t seem to resist. Dan says that with restaurants, astute athletes see the franchising model as a lower-risk venture—even if franchising limits the individuality they can bring to the business.
