The athlete said: “the rules [] bar me from making the amount I’m WORTH as a collegiate athlete such as NIL which favors popularity over performance”
Professional athletes are basically entertainers, and people pay to watch sports they find entertaining. It’s too bad for her that discus isn’t one of those sports. I don’t know what she’s suggesting, that someone(?) be forced to pay athletes who are extremely good at their sports, even if nobody is particularly interested in watching those sports?
However, the rest of the 20% votes have not yet (at the writing of this article) been released because of a massive cyber-attack. The elements of the electronic system that transmit the results to the central point was hacked over a hundred times in a most sophisticated manner that was traced to North Macedonia.
This is a good move. Thrg just need to be careful to preclude somehow giving an opening for the court to hear it via original jurisdiction. Congress can only limit the court’s appellate jurisdiction under the Constitution.
I watched the video of this and it was painful how they discussed “the scientists said that?” and then all agreed in unison. it feels like they’re in an echo chamber
This gay dad was called a ‘pervert homo’ by a right-wing talk show host.
That could lead to an amusing court case, as one of the common defenses against slander is truth, so it’d probably be a route for the defense attorney to try.
The common law (law developed over history by courts) traditionally presumed that a statement was false once a plaintiff proved that the statement was defamatory. Under modern defamation law, a plaintiff who is a public official or public figure must prove falsity as a prerequisite for recovery. Some states likewise now require falsity as an element of defamation that any plaintiff—even a private individual—must prove in order to recover. Where this is not a requirement, truth serves as an affirmative defense to a defamation claim (cause of action).
The applicability of the truth defense is strong against all types of defamation lawsuits, including defamation per se actions, where a plaintiff does not need to prove actual damages. A defamatory statement does not need to be literally true for this defense to be effective. Courts require that the statement is substantially true for the defense to apply. This means that even if the defendant states some false facts, if the “gist” or “sting” of the communication is substantially true, then the defendant can rely on the defense.
Defense Attorney: “Your Honor, clearly Exhibit 11 demonstrates that the plaintiff is a pervert homo!”
Probably not what you thought you were gonna be doing at mid-career after going to law school.
