Yankees Win Gay-Bashing Suit
The New York Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal of the case brought by Paul
Priore, who sued the New York Yankees for $50 million. Priore received a
favorable ruling by a lower court, which was later reversed by an appeals court.
By not hearing the reversal, the Supreme Court gives a victory to the Yankees.
According to the Associated Press, Priore, a former assistant equipment manager,
said that several Yankee players made anti-gay remarks and played jokes on him,
and that he was fired in 1997 because he was HIV-positive. The Yankees had said
that Priore was fired for stealing.
