“Because it’s not the first time he has participated in large events.
“You can have fun at Disneyland. It’s possible to go to a ballgame and still have fun. Because of their security measures and because they employ the best people who can assist those in need.
It’s difficult to explain.

Peña, from Laredo, Texas, died of cardiac arrest after being injured at the show.

It is an ode to live events’ current condition and greed in the industry.
“Nobody should be afraid to enjoy something that they love,” and this unfortunately is what happened.
‘We vow to work diligently and responsibly to bring justice to the Peña family and to all afflicted, and we will not rest until these voices have been heard loud and clear.
