Golfer Sues Over Vandalized Wikipedia Entry

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the setting-the-record-straight dept.

coondoggie writes "Pro golfer Fuzzy Zoeller is suing to track down the author of what Zoeller says is a defamatory paragraph about him on the Wikipedia site. In an Associated Press story Zoeller's attorney, Scott Sheftall, said he filed a lawsuit against a Miami firm last week because the law won't allow him to sue Wikipedia."

    So, wait, I'm confused.

    His wiki also states that he had some very racist and unfriendly things to say about Tiger Woods. He's not trying to get that taken out, oh no. He wants references to drug use taken out.

    I don't think anything could have proved him to be more of a dinosaur.

    Racism, well, that's just fine. But don't let me hear you say I do drugs!
