Is it trademark, or IP. If someone made a list of Mickey Mouse jokes, Disney's law department will send them a letter too. Chuck Norris is a person/name but also a persona.

Also, perhaps it was Norris' lawyer acting on behalf of him. Maybe he didn't even know about it.

I don't see how that matters. If someone is acting in your name, you best keep tabs on what they're doing.
