He likes to sue.
He did a interview on wrestling years ago. He went in doing his cutesy made for tv interview. The kind of interview that idiots seem to like. That in you face, and I'm going to out you.
He kept on calling it fake, which it is.
A idiot wrestler got fed up up with the guy, and slaped him. An open slap that most of us might slough off.
In court, he claimed long term physical/psychological damage from the slap. He claimed his hearing was permently damaged. Just a whiny baby with a monetary motive?
He got a nice fat settlement, from the wrestler, and WWF.
(I don't condone any violence, and never understood fake wrestling, but Stossel got his taste of easy judicial money, and him suing doesn't suprise me.)
- crispyambulance 5y agoStossel was once a legit anchor/news-program talking head. Some time ago, I don't know when, he _really_ went off the deep end into libertarian la-la land. Suing and aggressive legal maneuvers are practically a sacrament to such hardcore libertarians.
- driverdan 5y agoStossel has always been a hardcore libertarian. It's one of the reasons he's so great. Even if you don't agree with everything he says he presents an underrepresented point of view in journalism.
- howaboutnope 5y agoSo some grown man play acting as a fighter to help keep people's mind off anything that might improve their situation reacts with violence to being called out on it, but Stossel is the "whiny baby" doing "cutesy stuff idiots seem to like"? That's rich. > I don't condone any violence No, you just talk about "an open slap that most of us might slough off", and call someone a "whiny baby" for not sloughing it off.
- haznol 5y agoWhat happens if he gets slapped again after the settlement? Like if Bill Gates slaps him. Pays whatever. Slaps him again etc.
- oh_sigh 5y agoMost of us would slough off getting slapped twice by an angry 6'6", 270 lbs professional athlete? And getting slapped in the ear can cause permanent damage. Look up "boxing someone's ears" for more info.
