Jonathan Martin, an offensive lineman with the Miami Dolphins, abruptly quit the team and checked himself into

Question:

Jonathan Martin, an offensive lineman with the Miami Dolphins, abruptly quit the team and checked himself into a hospital seeking psychological treatment. Later, he explained that he left because of persistent taunting from other Dolphins players. The National Football League hired attorney Theodore Wells to investigate Martin’s allegations of bullying. After receiving Wells’s report, the Dolphins fired their offensive line coach, James Turner. Turner was a prominent person on the Dolphins team, and during his career he chose to thrust himself further into the public arena. He was the subject of articles discussing his coaching philosophy, and the focus of one season of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” showcasing his coaching style. Turner filed a suit in a federal district court against Wells, alleging defamation. He charged that Wells failed to properly analyze certain information. Is Turner likely to succeed on his claim? Explain. [Turner v. Wells, 879 F.3d 1254 (11th Cir. 2018)] (See Intentional Torts against Persons.)
