    I believe you're right in that it is a commenter who is voicing an opinion.So if that's the case, is there anything that can be done to protect the paper?

    Tryiing to figure out what the coaches would sue for. Libel? Neglecting duties of journalism by posting unedited comments?

    Maybe the coaches could take an hour out of their day to edit the blog (BLOGS!). Unpaid, of course.

    Ok, Ok, OK. Let's not run it in the ground. There are other threads for that. The guy has a serious question about something that could happen at other places. This is the journalism board where stuff is supposed to be discussed more seriously than on other threads.

    The moral of the story is that the newspaper can't be liable for what people post. And you can leave any libelous material up and still be not be liable.

    It's libel and not slander, BTW.
