Well to be fair a video of someone nude is one thing. A video of someone fricking is quite another.

Amazing.

This board excoriated Erin Andrews for suing--and winning-- because some creeper (with the help of hotel staff) took video of her without her knowledge, which the whole world eventually saw. The overall sentiment of TD was "frick that attention-seeking bitch".

Now Hulk Hogan sues for and receives more than twice as much for something he willingly took part in AND may have even leaked himself.
And he's a TD hero.

This place is un-fricking-believable.

People are more happy about Gawker going down than they are cheering Hulk on.

Turkel told the jury that Daulerio "didn't have the common decency" to reach out to any of the parties involved before he posted the video excerpts and the commentary, which "probably tells you all you need to know about Gawker."

Turkel invoked a 2013 interview in which Denton said "invasion of privacy has incredibly positive effects on society." "Who thinks like that?" the attorney asked incredulously.


Gawker founder chose words unwisely

Between that and the Justine Sacco ordeal, I will gleefully watch Gawker burn to the ground and piss on the ashes.

Doesn't matter. Florida law requires the award be placed in an escrow account during the appeal. Gawker is dead they don't have that kind of money

Gawker is making money off the publicity of the case

You're an idiot if you think this "ends" Gawker

closely
I appreciate opinions and points of view different from my own, it makes me think and consider my own position on matters of concern. Sports are not a matter of importance as far as the world goes so I tend to not let such differences bother me. Deadspin has done some extremely detailed investigative work shining the light on many sacred cows over the years, and as such I am able to skip over the dick pix and social activism within sports and such without too much trouble

Gawker on the other hand is so far left, on so many issues that actually do matter, that I welcome the immolation as they absolutely have it coming

It's capped at $50 million that they have to put up.

They only made $6.7 million profit on $45 million of net revenue in 2014


Without some committed financial backers willing to go to bat for them, Gawker is finished if they lose on appeal.
