“The post “speaks for itself,” Krawczynski and the New York-based AP said in a response, filed in Minneapolis’ U.S. District Court this week. “The statements within the defendants’ challenged publication are true or substantially true and [Spooner] therefore cannot carry his burden of proving that the statements are false.”
NBA ref sues Twittering Timberwolves reporter
An NBA referee has whistled foul on an Associated Press Timberwolves reporter who tweeted that the ref promised points to head coach Kurt Rambis after a bad call. Bill Spooner said he has “honestly” refereed NBA games for 22 years, but was investigated by the league after AP writer Jon Krawczynski posted a message on social networking site Twitter.com during the Jan. 24 Timberwolves game against the Houston Rockets at the Target Center.
According to his suit, the Oak Park, Cali. referee called a Minnesota player for a foul at 10:22 in the second period and got an earful from Rambis.
After promising to review the call at the half, Spooner said Rambis asked him how he would get the points back.
Spooner said he didn’t respond to the comment, but Krawczynski soon after tweeted: “Ref Bill Spooner told Rambis he’d “get it back” after a bad call. Then he made an even worse call on Rockets. That’s NBA officiating folks
What a joke. At least the AP is standing behind Jon; from what I’ve read they’re basically refusing to retract this comment.
