In a statement respond to the suit, WIRED said, “We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit. We look forward to continuing our coverage of MSG, and on billionaire James Dolan’s use of technology across his entertainment empire. It’s one part of our wider mission and the critical job of journalists, now more than ever: holding power to account.”

The owner James Dolan is an asshole with tons of money and nothing better to do.
Without knowing anything else about it, I suspected that something of this sort happened. People don’t jump on defamation lawsuits over published journalism without their egos being hurt in the process.
