An insurer must defend a "donkey basketball" company against claims from two players thrown off their donkeys during a game, a federal judge ruled. The dispute stems from a negligence suit that Amanda Sciolla and Meredith Hopkins, two teachers in the Pennsbury School District in Bucks County, Pa., filed several years ago against Buckeye Donkey Ball LLC. The teachers said they were thrown to the ground while participating in one of Buckeye's donkey ball shows - which involve people playing basketball while riding donkeys - at the Charles Boehm Middle School on Nov. 13, 2009.
