Two former Detroit Lions employees have filed a lawsuit against the team, claiming racial and age discrimination ultimately led to them getting fired.
In a suit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, Michael Richardson and Robert Yanagi have filed suit against the Lions and the NFL, saying they were terminated in January "without justification."
The Free Press reached out to the Lions for comment, but the team had not responded as of midday Tuesday.
The lawsuit says that Richardson, a 52-year-old African-American, and Yanagi, a 58-year-old man of Japanese decent, were the team's assistant video director and video operations director.
