Derrell Coleman II, a former clubhouse attendant with the Detroit Tigers, filed a lawsuit Thursday that alleged "a culture of racism was tolerated by the upper echelons of management as African American employees were treated differently than their similarly situated white counterparts."
Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press provided details of the lawsuit, which was filed in Michigan's Wayne County Third Circuit Court. Coleman, an African American who worked for the club in 2017 and 2018, previously said former Tigers pitching coach Chris Bosio had made "discriminatory remarks" toward him, which led to Bosio's firing in June 2018.
