DAVID J PFAHLER IS A DISGRACE AND SHOULD NEVER AGAIN WORK FOR READERS DIGEST, I WILL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT HIM SUING A LITTLE 8 YEAR OLD BOY FOR RUNNING INTO HIM ON THE SKI SLOPES IN VAIL, COLORADO... THIS MAN NEEDS TO GROW UP, HE IS A DISGRACE TO AMERICA.
What an ###. David Pfahler deserves nothing more than to rot in the gutters of our nation. If a sixty year old man wishes to go skiing, he should at least have enough intelligence to know that with every dangerous sport comes the possibility of injury. Regardless if eight year old Scott Swimm really is to blame for the incident, Pfahler should've had enough common sense to not be out on the slopes if a little child tapping his boots poses a serious threat. On a lighter note, hopefully this man loses all his friends and job, but at least aquires enough man juice to accept a sincere apology from an eight year old.
It was either sue the 8 year old boy or the snow. What next in the world?
I don't have a subscription to Reader's Digest, but I will tell everyone I know who does to cancel their subscription. This man and his wife both disgust me and are totally ridiculous, and as such are diserving of ridicule. Let all of us, as Americans, take a stand and turn them into pariahs. Also, his lawyer, who is in colorado is a disgrace to all us fellow coloradans. It is time that we took a stand against this type of behavior, because it is destroying American society. Let's all join together and get this slimeball fired and run out of town.
Did I get the $1500 and they where wonder to me.
I guess I would have to agree. I wonder if anyone besides myself knows that he was a basketball star at central catholic high in Allentown and went on to play at st. joe's in philly with Matt Goukas?
David J. Pfahler did not work for Reader's Digest...according to Readers Digest. Please provide a bit of evidence that we can grab onto.
He wasn't so injured he couldn't grab Scott's legs and pull him down - or, is that how he hurt his shoulder?
Hahah he died
