AP – Tony La Russa’s lawsuit against Twitter was a lot like kicking dirt on the umpire: He got a lot of attention, and he made his point, but he wasn’t likely to win the argument.
“His chances are probably slim” if the case went to court, said Michael McCann, a Vermont Law School professor and contributor to the Sports Law Blog. “There were strong indications that this is parody. And given the content of the tweets, I don’t think that anybody would think it was actually Tony La Russa that was doing this.”
