The New York Giants say a lawsuit claiming that the team, as well as quarterback Eli Manning, sold fake memorabilia is ‘without any merit.’
The Giants are vehemently denying a new lawsuit that claims that quarterback Eli Manning and the team created fake “game-worn” football memorabilia.
“The suit is completely without any merit whtasoever and we will defend it vigorously,” said the team in a statement. “We will not otherwise comment on pending litigation.”
The trade-libel suit is being brought by collector Eric Inselberg in Bergen County Superior Court, according to a report. It alleges that Manning took part in the fake memorabilia scheme so he could keep the real items, which included a pair of 2012 Super Bowl helmets, a 2004 rookie helmet and several jerseys.
It also alleges that the scheme is well-known among other players and the team’s equipment staff.
