For several weeks, WNST aggressively promoted a protest rally that was to take place against the Detroit Tigers at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
[6] After the walkout, Aparicio was quoted in the AP by saying, "We have a chance to make a memorable civic statement about how we, as fans, are fed up with the embarrassment that the Orioles have become.
Aparicio likened it to what "many of those in those asbestos lawsuits did a generation earlier" (a knock on the litigation that led to Angelos' success as a trial attorney).
"And what could Peter Angelos possibly say to disparage the same kind of union that made him a wealthy man", said Aparicio after launching his website.
[8] Aparicio was videotaped attempting to strangle Gordon Keith of KTCK-AM The Ticket in Dallas while covering Super Bowl XLIII in January 2009.
[12] Royle, who also worked for MASN, claims that Aparicio and the WNST hosts hurt her reputation with damaging statements about her professional and personal life.
