He has no hope at winning. He elected to become a public figure. He can't then sue people for making fun of him and win

[StarkVegasSteve]

He's slowly realizing he's not the least bit relevant anymore and he can't take it. Got to keep his name in the news. However, suing Barstool is only going to make it worse. Now no sports company will feature you since they think you'll sue them.

[Choctaw Dawg]

Barstool not gonna be beat by anybody, Portnoy shits on everybody and gets away with it through his lawyers. They are some cocky sonsabitches over there.

I think he can sue. Business cannot sue but individual can.

It depends.. If he made money off of his image or name, then he has little to no case.

Is Portnoy the dude with the lisp? The one that’s talking for most of that video? If so, he’s a kinda goofy sounding guy himself to be making fun of people.

However, Stingray has to have some kind of self-awareness. He tried to get famous with goofy, over-the-top vids, and he became a meme. Welcome to the public eye. I’d be annoyed, too, if somebody made a meme like that about me. But I also wouldn’t have made the vids he did, so, there’s that.

[Political Hack]

Wow.

Eh technically he may. This will probably end in a small settlement. Just because your picture is on the Internet doesn’t mean just anyone can use it without your permission.

Except, Barstool apparently defended him. It was world star that used the post to shame and humiliate him. Barstool apparently wrote an article saying to leave ole stingray alone...

So yeah he isn’t winning

[Cooterpoot]

I saw Stringray with a Braves shirt on. Anyone ever seen him and 7 in the same place? Hmmm....*

MSU caught a huge break when stingray left us for Missouri!

He has become a laughingstock sock puppet!

[Maroonthirteen]

Mississippi State “Super fan”. Super parasite.

[Bully75]

Vortex public figure. No basis to sue anybody.

When was he not a laughingstock?

That was a beautiful quote. I cried

Both celebrity and politicians can sue for libel or slander. They have to prove it was false and made them with actual malice or was negligent in saying or writing them. Politicians don't sue because they all engage in the practice but other public figures and celebrities sue all the time and win.

He may have a chance to win in the lawsuit against World Star but the Barstool article is a tongue-in-cheek defense of him so Barstool is in the clear. I think most level-headed people understand what they were doing but their defense is solid to men. I understand the comment was mean but like Portnoy said, "that caption is brutal, but...funny is funny"

I'll be shocked if he wins.. you are probably right that he will settle with WorldStar. He isn't going to get anything from Barstool except for laughter.

The bar is pretty high for celebrities and public figures to win. It is easy to win for a person like me.

I wish stingray would be sued for impersonating a human being
