Report says Cardinals must pay former team executive $3 million for defamation
The Arizona Cardinals have been ordered to pay former team executive Terry McDonough $3 million for making false and defamatory statements about him to the media. McDonough filed a lawsuit for $15 million in damages but was awarded $150,000 in general damages, $600,000 for emotional distress, and $2.25 million in punitive damages. The statements made by the Cardinals were found to be false, and McDonough was fired three months after filing his arbitration complaint. The team had alleged he committed spousal abuse and neglected his disabled daughter, which McDonough and his wife denied. The case also involved allegations of burner phones being used by the team.
