The owner of a sports lounge is planning on showing a game between rival teams whose fans have a history of a strong competitive spirit. The last time the lounge owner showed a game between these teams a fight broke out, and considerable damage was done to the venue. The owner wants the venue to be appealing to both sides while reducing the risk of damage.
How would the owner evaluate the problem using a sound critical-thinking strategy?
A. The owner holds separate meetings with numerous fans of the two teams to gather diverse opinions on how to avoid damage if the game is shown.
B. The owner posts a sign informing patrons that they will be liable for any damage caused to the lounge's property.
C. The owner speaks to several insurance agents to investigate expanding the coverage of the lounge's property insurance.
D. The owner carefully considers underlying personal assumptions and the assumptions of the two groups of fans and dismisses them because they contradict one another.
