Univision struck back Friday at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's $500 million lawsuit claiming that it unjustly broke a contract to broadcast beauty pageants, citing his "disgraceful allegations" about Mexican immigrants.
Univision lawyers filed papers in Manhattan federal court asking a judge to toss out the lawsuit Trump filed in July.
The lawyers said Trump destroyed the value of Univision's rights to broadcast the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants when he announced June 16 that he was running for president. ...

Screw Univision. Did they, or didn’t they, break the contract?

It sucks when your opponent has more resources than you do.

It would seem to be difficult to argue his running voided their agreement. Is his name part of the pageant? Is it Trump’s Miss Universe? or just Miss Universe?
At the official website the name Trump is nowhere to be seen.

Like Hispanic men were not going to watch hot Latinas walking round in bathing suits because of remarks Trump made?
That’s your defense?

No big deal
Any cheap suit ambulance chasing lawyer always asks to dismiss the suit
This is just procedure

Ya know, it seems doubtful to me that this is even TRUE. Trump could cut Univision some slack if it was true. Show he is a mensch. But this sounds like a phoney excuse to me.

Even Mexico’s own attitude towards the illegale set seems strangely contemptuous. Mexico loves them so little that it says to them sure, boogie on right out the door, we want you to send dollars but you yourself? That we care less about.

“Struck back?” A contract is a contract. Just because you’re a Mexican it doesn’t mean you don’t have to honor it. Geez, these people are stupid.
