Schemer is in violation of Floridas privacy laws. ESPN will get sued for this one.

depends where he got it.

Schefter needs to nut up on this one .... he could have reported it without the photo.

Some sources will abandon him ... players will not let him off easy.

ESPN trying to hard competing with TMZ Sports.

After the stunt the NFL tried to pull about time allowed during the Brady appeal, I'm sure Schefter was being certain to avoid a repeat.

He won't lose any sources, players won't abandon him, and he'll suffer no ill consequences, unless he bribed/blackmailed someone.

Why would any source abandon him when espn most likely pay a good amount to get to use that picture? I bet the source agreed to have the picture posted

HIPPA protects us from corporations taking advantage of our health situations. If people's medical information was not kept private, many would avoid seeking treatment for a wide variety of ailments. STD rates would skyrocket. The only people I can imagine that would oppose HIPPA would be those vested in industries that use others' medical information for financial gain.

Also, it helped reduce "job lock," since the 'P' stands for portability, not privacy. One of its provisions meant that you didn't have to worry about an insurer re-starting an exclusion clock for pre-existing conditions when you switched jobs or insurers.

There's been a lot of finger pointing this offseason.

No, and HIPAA is yet another one of the many Godawful 'reforms' that Americans were stupid enough to accept in recent decades.

We really are a stupid nation of people.

what is your specific beef with HIPAA?

I agree. Unless Schefter actually stole the data by hacking in himself, he will be fine. The hospital, however, may not be so lucky. Nor will the person who took the picture.

Schefter talked to Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch and defended his actions. “This was a public figure and franchise player involved in a widely speculated accident with potential criminal behavior in which there was a cone of secrecy that surrounded him for five days that not even his own team could crack,” Schefter said.

“The extent of his injuries were going to come to light, maybe that day or later that week, but soon. They’re horrific injuries, incredibly unfortunate for the player. But in a day and age in which pictures and videos tell stories and confirm facts, in which sources and their motives are routinely questioned, and in which reporters strive to be as accurate as possible, this was the ultimate supporting proof.”

Furthermore, according to Schefter, he never requested the images, they came to him.

I lost a bit of respect for Schefter from that sentence. He makes it sound like he broke watergate or released the NSA documents. Like this is something that the people deserve to know and must know to understand what the country are doing in hiding. When all he did was posting someones private medical records. I don't really care that he posted it, because sooner or later the info will come out anyway. But don't overstate what the information was. I respect Schefter because he's usually very accurate. But the part about "reporters strive to be as accurate as possible" is not something I think you'll find in ESPNs business idea or philosophy.

Schefter just told you, in as clear a manner as he can given that he works for ESPN, that he did this because of the NFL's shenanigans during the Brady appeal hearing.

Schefter getting sued.

Jason Pierre-Paul files lawsuit against Adam Schefter, ESPN

Jason Pierre-Paul gave Adam Schefter and ESPN the finger in Florida state court Wednesday, filing a lawsuit that claims the sports network and its NFL reporter violated his privacy by posting medical records and photos of the Giants star’s mangled hand on Twitter.

The lawsuit also claims Schefter violated Florida law by sharing Pierre-Paul’s medical charts with his nearly 4 million Twitter followers on July 8, days after the NFL player damaged the index finger on his right hand during a July 4 fireworks accident.

Too bad Mort isn't being sued too. Kick him while he's down. F them all at BSPN.

More lawsuits would be a good push back.

Ross12 · Feb 25, 2016

Saw this this morning. I knew back at the time that there was no way they should be releasing his medical records (or even have them at all). Definitely lawsuit-worthy.

Jackson 2 · Feb 25, 2016

How ironic that Schefter, one of the few ethical people at ESPN is being sued and Cris Carter, Ray Lewis, Mark Schlereth, Tom Jackson, Merrill Hoge, Mortensen and others there who have knowingly spewed false crap for years just go whistling blithely on their merry way unscathed.
