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.
