Fan who fell asleep during Yankees-Red Sox game suing for $10 million

He's suing the wrong people. Everything he claims was said was by comments on the story. Go sue the trolls, doofus! Hopefully he (and other wasters of court time) learns a valuable lesson and is made to pay all court costs, including the 10k an hour ESPN lawyers.

Baseball is a horrifically boring sport for players and observers. On these grounds the case has merit - how dare they besmirch this individual for sleeping during such a slumber inducing event. Like defaming people at the racetrack for betting. Especially in such a litigation intensive region as New York this individual stands to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Andrew Rector, 26, fell asleep during the April 13 game between the Yankees and the rival Boston Red Sox. It was nationally televised on ESPN, and Rector was noticed by cameras and talked about by commentators John Kruk and Dan Shulman.

Yes I saw that. That was crazy and pretty obvious.
