Atkinson Loses Lawsuit Against Noll Over Remarks
A federal jury rejected George Atkinson's $2 million slander suit against the Pittsburgh Steelers and coach Chuck Noll. The verdict found Atkinson, a former Oakland Raiders defensive back, entitled to no damages for Noll's remarks after a Pittsburgh-Oakland game. Noll called for removal of violent players, while Atkinson left camp for a physical. The trial also noted Swann's concussion from an on-field collision with Atkinson.
