Question:

As part of a promotional campaign, the Blacksox Baseball Club ran an advertisement in a local newspaper that featured a picture of about three dozen fans cheering wildly at a recent home game. In one corner of the picture, a man and a woman were hugging and kissing, apparently delighted with their team's success. The man's wife, however, knew better. When she saw the photo, she realized that her husband had resumed an affair with a woman he had promised to never see again. Angry that the Blacksox had exposed his infidelity, the man wants to sue the organization for invasion of privacy. Assuming that no relevant conditions were attached to the ticket that the man had purchased, and assuming that the relevant events occurred in Alberta, can the man successfully bring an action against the team on the basis of an intentional tort? Explain your answer.
