Obviously Freeze is asking the judge to rule that he doesn't have to give a deposition. But he's also saying that IF he has to give a deposition, the plaintiff shouldn't be allowed to go on a fishing expedition into unrelated NCAA matters. So again, when TMZ said he doesn't want to give a deposition because of the NCAA investigation, that's taking the statement out of context. If TMZ had included the entire quote, as ESPN did, I would have no criticism. They extracted that line to make it sound different than what he actually said in the motion, i.e., taking it out of context. If you can't or won't see that, that's fine, we can just agree to disagree, because I don't know how else to explain it.
He's not only asking that he not be asked about it, he's asking that if he does have to that it be sealed from the NCAA. Those are two distinct requests. The first one I get; he wants them to stay on topic. But he loses here because step dad's position is that he was trying to keep his son out of trouble with NCAA, so Freeze/UM violations are certainly at issue.
He should also lose part 2 of his request: to seal the deposition. Again, step dad is trying to clear his name which is the very subject of the lawsuit. If Freeze's testimony helps to clear his name that he did not beat his wife, but instead was trying to avoid further NCAA infractions, then justice requires that that information be released immediately to mitigate the damages already caused to his reputation, and which are continuing.
