This clip shows why you should always pay attention at live sports events.

An unidentified fan at the NBA clash between the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings left the Time Warner Cable Arena with an unwanted souvenir, a bruised face. Hornets guard Lance Stephenson threw a wild pass that was deflected by teammate Gerald Henderson and ended up flying into the stands. One fan was so distracted by the woman sitting beside showing her something on her phone that she didn't notice the ball coming hurtling towards her at a ferocious speed. Despite the best efforts of the very excitable middle-aged man to her right, the ball went crashing into the woman's face Ouch!
