re: Why are State fans mad about the Rebel Rags lawsuit?

o I don't get why Miss State or other fans are upset about this lawsuit

It isn't a winning case and potentially falls into the frivolous category. That said, if it even gets to point of depositions, Ole Miss fans need to realize the defense will likely have other student athletes who come forward to make similar claims as Lewis and Kobe.

Defamation is going to be difficult to prove. Commercial Disparagement is going to be difficult to prove. Commercial Conspiracy is going to be difficult to prove. All of those things - even in a civil trial where the burden is less - are an uphill battle for plaintiff.

clearly nobody else offered Lewis any impermissible benefits,

Yeah. That'll go something like this:

"objection. speculative and irrelevant."
"Sustained."

under oath could say it was just Ole Miss and Rebel Rags

would be the only questions allowed in a case about Ole miss and RR.

You really need to step back into reality bro.
