If im JPP, I'm exploring comm law, which allows for certain expeditions in case of national interest, but his injury isn't exactly Watergate, and stolen personal information disseminated for millions to see without his consent isn't exactly exposing government fraud, or unraveling a conspiracy. I'd name both Schefter and ESPN as co-conspirators in this. You don't just get information like this without greased wheels. I mean, it was a ing picture of official medical records, that's not equivalent to "a well-placed source."Well after reading more about it espn won't be sued because they weren't the ones who stole the info. Still though
I've taught basics of Communication Law, and this definitely feels like a co-conspirator type lawsuit where, media, without knowledge of consent, took illegally obtained private information, and in own interests of breaking news, contributed through extended application of initial offense, to the unlawful at worst, unethical at best transmission of private medica records that diminished said victims negotiating power, undercutting his ability to control means of earning potential. ESPN and Schefter were literally the vehicle through which the crime was committed.
