Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly concluded that the plaintiff assumed the risks inherent in playing football in the street where he sustained his injuries, including those risks associated with the condition of the playing surface and any open and obvious conditions on it (see, Maddox v.
