Mendenhall moves forward in lawsuit over lost endorsement

Mendenhall moves forward in lawsuit over lost endorsement

After Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wrote on Twitter that no one should celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden, and questioned whether the collapse of the World Trade Center towers was really caused by hijacked planes, the athletic apparel company Champion ended its sponsorship relationship with him. Mendenhall responded by filing a lawsuit, and a judge has now decided to let that lawsuit move forward.

Whether Mendenhall’s lawsuit against Hanesbrands, the parent company of Champion, will ultimately be successful is a long way down the road. But the judge has ruled that Mendenhall has a plausible claim that Hanesbrands breached its contract with Mendenhall.

I have mixed emotions about this. Without reading the actual content of the contract it's hard to say whether his suit has legal merit. Do I think he deserves the money? HELL NO!!!
