The physician for the Philadelphia Eagles football team examined Don Chuy, a player, and determined that because of a medical condition, Mr. Chuy should not play football. The team's general manager then reported to a sports columnist that Mr. Chuy had a fatal blood disease. A report of the illness appeared in print and was picked up by other sources. Mr. Chuy's personal physician never diagnosed the disease. Mr. Chuy sued the football club for defamation. Is the club liable for the remarks made by the general manager? [ Chuy v Philadelphia Eagles Football Club, 595 F.2d 1265 (3d Cir. 1979)]
