You and your friend James are fans of rival soccer teams. In a recent and highly publicized match, your preferred team wins against James's team by a score of 7-0. You take advantage of this victory to repeatedly tell James that his team is inferior and does not deserve to play in the league. You send James emails with photos of the goal scoring players. James is clearly annoyed hearing about the loss, but you continue to pester him anyway. After two days of this behavior and having made your point, you decide to move on. James has not, however, moved on and is threatening you with a lawsuit. 

Discuss your potential liability for your conduct and the likelihood of James' success.
