ALLEN PARK -- Two former Lions employees are suing the organization, alleging that racial and age discrimination led to their firings.
Michael Richardson and Robert Yanagi have filed a suit in Wayne County Circuit Court that targets the Lions and the NFL. The two were terminated in January, and the suit claims that they weren't given a justification for it.
MLive reached out to the Lions for comment but had not received one as of early Tuesday afternoon.
Richardson and Yanagi were the team's assistant video director and video operations director. Richardson is a 52-year-old African-American and Yanagi is a 58-year-old man of Japanese descent.
