Well, I'll tell you what. Write the petition for me right here, what is the claim of "institutional negligence" or "lack of oversight" you would forward here? And since you brought it up, what damages are you going to allege? And things are pre-adjudicated all of the time in our court system, it is called a summary judgment. There is also an action available to a defendant through the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 91 (a) for frivolous lawsuits. And they are preadjudicated all the time in law offices throughout the nation. Have a nice day, Coog.

Wow! You didn't take the same law school classes that I did. Your allegation of vicarious liability is like saying that your employer is liable for you killing someone while driving drunk because it could possibly happen. That is not reasonable forseeability and is not "'institutional negligence." As with the NAACP, any of TASO's lawyers would represent the client, not the organization. Any inkling that they did otherwise would put a lawyer's license in jeopardy. As to your defense of a libel claim, the Washington Post and CNN thought like you did. Now Nicholas Sandman is now a very rich young man. You target a specific group who names are easily accessible, then you have identified under the law. Second, an organization or new organization does, under the law have a duty to investigate allegations made before publishing. If they did not, yes, they are liable. And as for the NAACP, that horse escaped the barn with this little statement: "It was definitely a racial issue. I got some calls about racial slurs, people being ugly, nasty, no doubt about it," said Linder. "I don't like being a sportscaster. I'm not good at that, but I do understand what's right, what's wrong, what's fair, what's unfair. This to me is very, very clear. This was ugly. It should never have occurred in any sport for these young people. These kids, their spirits have been broken," he added.

So the basis is now bribery, not racism? This is getting ridiculous. Even taking the wild rumor of a bribe as true, there would be no interesting lawsuit against TASO. Vicarious liability, which is defined as an entity being liable for the acts of its agent, does not apply in cases of intentional act of the agent unless the entity required that action or it was reasonably foreseeable. Taking a bribe, which is apparently the new allegation, is an intentional act. The referee himself, if this ridiculous allegation is true, could be liable, but you would not reach the deep pockets of TASO. And the NAACP can threaten all of the legal action it wants, it is just blowing smoke. It has no standing to bring a suit in this case. It can provide attorney's for the "injured" parties, it can be the driving force, but it can't be the filing party to this suit as it has no standing to do so. I also find it telling that despite all of this, there is no report of either LBJ High School or Austin ISD making any contact with the UIL about this. The only one I see being close to having legal action are the members of the officiating crew who have now had allegations of racism (despite the fact that at least one of the members of that "racist crew" was African American) and now bribery thrown at them, with what is out there right now, not much basis for it. It doesn't reach it yet, but this is becoming dangerously close to turning into a defamation lawsuit. Ultimately, the only effect that will come out of this is a chilling effect on anyone who wants to enter into officiating. On top of verbal abuse and social media complaints, we have now seen officials become the victims of battery and now subject to civil and/or criminal allegations because someone did not like their calls. Yeah, that makes me want to get out there for 50 bucks a game.

My understanding is that cancellation, thus forfeiture, is up to the individual schools.
