Yesterday when TSN was reporting on the NHL trade deadline it displayed a scrolling ticker of tweets from the public.
In spite of TSN's protocols to prevent unfounded and inappropriate tweets from making it to air, a false, and inappropriate tweet was allowed to run.
There was no basis for the false allegation made in this tweet.
TSN unreservedly apologizes to Joffrey Lupul, Dion Phaneuf and Elisha Cuthbert and regrets any embarrassment this unfortunate incident has caused to them.
On behalf of our clients Dion Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and Joffrey Lupul, we have sent a letter to TSN demanding that TSN issue a formal apology and pay a significant amount of damages to each of our clients for broadcasting a false and defamatory tweet during their trade deadline show yesterday
who have to pay hin regardless, I would to fuck the leafs.So they want damages from a company owned by one of the companies that owns the Leafs. They are essentially threatening legal action against their own employers.
The Maple Leafs are trash.
