Mexico City Wild Wings v. The Blaseball Gods

Mexico City Wild Wings v. The Blaseball Gods was a legal case related to the Mexico City Wild Wings' placement in the Mild League following the Season 5 decree High Filter and the team's resulting name changes throughout Season 6.

History

The Mexico City Wild Wings were inaugural members of Internet League Blaseball when the league returned at the beginning of Season 1. During their five seasons prior to the lawsuit, the team gained a reputation as static and unchanging. They had not received a blessing until José Haley earned the Mushroom item during the Season 4 election, and they had through the end of Season 5 never been subject to weather or a roster change in any form.

During the Season 5 election, the passage of the High Filter decree reorganized the league by disbanding the Good and Evil leagues and forming the Wild and Mild Leagues via the Season 5 standings. Since the Wild Wings finished 10th out of 20 teams in Season 5, they were placed in a new division representing teams 6-10. The new division, later named Mild High, was divided into the second of the two new leagues, later named the Mild League.

Given the name and branding efforts of the Wild Wings over the first five seasons of the league, the team and its fans viewed this league placement as an affront to an organization that was already thought to be overlooked by the Blaseball Gods. During Season 6, the Wild Wings Legal Team filed a defamation of character suit in the Superior Internet Court of the Immaterial Plane.
