Your appeal of my Krutwig ruling is reviewed de novo. It is well established that playful social media posts directed toward verified local celebrities by college athletes is conclusive indicia of an athlete's good health and availability for upcoming games. See Richardson v. Everyone Who Hit Him in The Face During A Game, 18 Fnl. 4, at 32-6 (2018); also see Loyola v. Valley 15 M.V.C 3 (2018) (A player for the greatest college basketball team in Chicago was violently hit in the face by an opposing team's player in a mid-week conference game, tweeted and retweeted Kansas City Chiefs crap the following Thursday, and Friday, and was in uniform and registered minutes the following game on Saturday).
We review Toledo Rambler's ruling that Krutwig will be all right for Saturday under the Abuse of Discretion standard. A poster abuses his discretion with a post that "no reasonable person would take the view adopted by [the poster]" O’Connell v. City of Chicago, 285 Ill. App. 3d 459, 463, 647 N.E.2d 105 (1996); a post "made without the employment of conscientious judgement" or one which "exceeded the bounds of reason" Kaden v. Pucinski, 263 Ill. App. 3d 611, 615, 635 N.E.2d 468 (1994); a post with "no reasonable basis in the evidence" Ford v. Baker, 61 Ill. App. 3d 45, 46, 377 N.E.2d 853 (1978); or a post which is "against the manifest weight of the evidence" (Continental Cablevision of Cook County, Inc. v. Miller, 238 Ill. App. 3d 774, 606 N.E.2d 587 (1992)) whose "opposite result is clearly evident from a review of the evidence" In re J.P., 261 Ill. App. 3d 165, 174, 633 N.E.2d 27 (1994).
We see no reason to believe King Krut will not be jacked up and ready to dominate on Saturday. Swella's Appeal is therefore DENIED.
