Sleeping Yankee fan sues ESPN for $10 million



The Yankees fan caught sleeping against the Red Sox believes he was defamed.

Does the name "Andrew Robert Rector" mean anything to you? Probably not unless you know him. Perhaps he's better known around the Internet as "sleeping Yankees fan," a man who just couldn't stay awake for an April game between the Yankees and Red Sox.

There were some laughs and it was a nice Sunday evening chuckle -- heck, we even got in on the fun. There's one problem: Rector isn't laughing. Instead of taking it on the chin and moving on, he's headed to court, suing ESPN, the New York Yankees, and announcers Dan Shulman and John Kruk. He's asking for $10 million for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

According to details of the suit from Courthouse News, one of the prime allegations is that ESPN's announcers insinuated that:

"Plaintiff is a fatty cow that need two seats at all time and represent symbol of failure."
The video remains on YouTube, so we'll let you decide.

Now, I believe the dude at the Royals game who got his eye cut up from the hot dog foil had a fair case. This dude is a joke though. They didn't say a bad word about him in that video.

This must have been one snoozer of a game: The lady Yankee fan sitting behind him even yawns.

The dude would have sued the guy sitting to his left for munchin' down his chicken while he slept, but seriously how much would one expect to milk out of that guy? Somethin' like a buck-80?

Meh. I'd be doing the same thing at a Baseball game.

But he shouldn't be suing ESPN. He has no case. He should be suing the Yankees for their racist team name. Now THAT might actually have some legs.

Kind of like the Royals doing that Mr. Oblivious thing on fans that can't see the jumbotron.

Same way "Chief" is a racist name.

If some NA bitch can claim "Chief" is racist, then Northern White's should be able to claim that "Yankee" is also racist.
