Tennis Player Sues for Libel
I talked about Robert Dee a month and a half ago and, according to news sources, Dee was the world’s worst professional tennis player with 54 consecutive losses. Dee is now suing three British newspapers (the Daily Mail, the London Evening Standard and the Independent) for libel: falsified information printed in a publication.
While Dee had lost 54 consecutive International Tennis Federation matches, he had won 20 other professional matches in the three-year period. Apparently Dee had contacted all three companies and asked for printed apologies but no dice so Dee is doing what world citizens have done over and over: suing them.
I do remember reading those articles about the “world’s worst” tennis player and thinking that it was pretty vague, non-informative, a little sketch. This is a blog - a platform for opinions and rants - but you can’t just spout off stuff like that. Or at least clarify. Or something, ya know? And who knows - maybe Dee is just playing dirty and trying to get his while he can. I don’t know…and that statement pretty much says how much faith I have in the goodness of the human race.
Just remember this when you think of the world’s worst tennis player: apparently it’s not Robert Dee.
