Fuzzy Zoeller sues unknown poster to Wikipedia
Fuzzy Zoeller didn’t like his bio on Wikipedia, believing some of it was outright defamatory. For those of you who don’t know, Wikipedia is the online encyclopaedia written by anyone who wants to post an entry. Fuzzy’s entry was posted by some computer in a Miami firm.
According to TGC, “The paragraph in question has been removed, but the information has been picked up by other Web sites. The lawsuit said it alleged Zoeller abused drugs, alcohol and his family with no evidence to back up the statements. The derogatory information was first added in August 2006.”
The Smoking Gun has Fuzzy’s Complaint with all of the allegations.
It strikes me as the person who posted the Wikipedia entry must have had some axe to grind with Fuzzy. Why else would you spend time writing a Wikipedia entry for a golfer who has been so out of the limelight?
