While it's probably unlikely they'll get that much, I hope it's a hefty sum that will hurt CNN. It all depends upon the judge and jury, but hopefully CNN will realize a battle in court will only damage their reputation and viewership even more and settle.

Not long after you posted this, our resident leftist man-child posted something about the school having a history of blackface. I've just seen one photo and yes, a few students were in blackface (and black bodies!) if anyone will notice, nearly the entire student body in the photo were dressed in black. That's a tradition that's been going on in sports for as long as I remember. My school's colors were purple and gold and we'd have "Purple Pride" games, usually district/important matchups where the students and townspeople would wear purple shirts and gear. They do it in pro sports, too, "red outs" or "white outs", etc.

I wasn't a great ballplayer, esp. in basketball, but I was harassed and anyone who ever played sports on nearly any level has been screamed at by the opposing fans. Some people take that crap far too seriously, both the screamers and those being screamed at. It's just a game, for cryin' out loud.

BUT, *some* people will cherry pick articles to prove their point, only choose things that will suit their confirmation bias.

Thanks Mike. It's easier to point a finger at something than to look in the mirror. Self reflection and empathy are not strong suits of the left.
