Vince McMahon Alleges Oliver Luck Fired After Showing 'Gross Neglect'

Lawyers for XFL owner Vince McMahon alleged in new federal court filings that the league fired former commissioner Oliver Luck for showing "gross neglect" at the start of the coronavirus pandemic as well for using a business iPhone for personal matters and signing wide receiver Antonio Callaway despite a league policy against hiring talent with legal troubles, according to Sports Business Journal's Ben Fischer.

The details were unearthed by the SBJ following recent fillings in federal court in Connecticut, where the league's former commissioner is suing McMahon for breach of contract stemming from his firing on April 9.
