<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->La Russa sues Twitter over fake pageComment Email Print Share Associated Press
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is suing the social-networking site Twitter, claiming an unauthorized page using his name damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress.
The suit filed last month in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco seeks unspecified damages.
Messages left Thursday with La Russa's attorney and San Francisco-based Twitter were not returned.
The lawsuit claims that someone created a false account under La Russa's name and posted updates, known as "tweets," that gave the false impression that the comments came from La Russa. The suit said the comments were "derogatory and demeaning" and damaged La Russa's trademark rights.
The account bearing La Russa's name is no longer active.
La Russa's lawsuit said the page bearing his name was hurtful to the 64-year-old manager, who has led the Cardinals since 1996 and also managed the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics during a 30-year managerial career.
The lawsuit includes a screenshot of tweets with the heading "Hey there! Tony La Russa is using Twitter," with a picture of the manager. Among other things, the lawsuit claims the page includes distasteful references to two Cardinals pitchers who have died in recent years.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Maybe TLR can be the man to take down Twitter. Clapp would be crushed though.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

I wish the tweets were still there so we could see what was actually said.
Just about every person who is even remotely famous is impersonated at least a few times on Facebook, Myspace, etc. Larussa is just being a baby [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I'd be thrilled if Twitter went away. I just don't want LaRussa to be the one to do it.

Says the one that keeps bitching to me about their website's traffic. Maybe if you used Twitter, that wouldn't be much of an issue.
Twitter is great. It's greatly beneficial for my websites and especially for being a sports fan. I don't have to navigate around the web, anything important that happens is there.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] I'm far from a guru unless it's about asian porn, I'm learning a ton myself everyday with this crap. C2go is the guru with this stuff. Wish he'd be around here more. You can certainly find him on Twitter frequently though. He was the one that got me into it actually.

I like being able to go to one site and get updates on shit I'm interested about, as opposed to going to 15 different sites several times throughout the day. For instance, I was curious about the results of Matt Forte's MRI. Instead of having to go to CST's Bear page, Rotoworld, Chicago Bears, etc., I went to twitter and saw at least 3 tweets saying it was nothing serious, one of them being Brad Biggs.
And, for the record, LaRussa is a giant bag of douche.
