Link: AU Athletics employees allege racial discrimination

[bamagradinATL]

True. But it's a bit thornier when it comes to a protected class like race, gender, age, etc. If you can show that the firings were racially motivated then 'at-will' doesn't matter.

And ordinarily I would agree with the posts about disgruntled employees 'playing the race card,' but if I had to suspect an athletic department of being racist it would be AU. The whole Eric Ramsey case started out because of Ramsey's exposure of a policy the AD had against black players dating white students...and that was the 1990's.

With all of that going on at the barn, the media still shows the video of Wallace standing in front of Foster Auditorium every chance they get and that was almost 50 years ago.

It just seems to me that if the firings were racially motivated, they wouldnt have hired them in the first place.

I wonder what Press Release we will see come out of Auburn today.

It took a few days, but here it is.

Simple mathematics. Ten custodial workers = two Cam Newtons...roughly.

I really dislike Auburn, bordering on hatred, but I despise people playing the race card just because they can.

Bingo. Good post and point.
