Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Alabama Athletics, including full TV listings.
Former Alabama cornerback Ramzee Robinson is suing the Kansas City Chiefs for racial discrimination and wrongful termination.
Robinson was fired from his job as the Chiefs’ director of player engagement after accusing Kansas City of discriminating against him because he is Black. He was a member of the Chiefs staff for nine years.
Robinson was accused of attacking a female co-worker but said that the Chiefs refused to show him the security footage. He was also allegedly being paid a salary of nearly $47,000 less than the average NFL team’s director of player engagement.
Additionally, the lawsuit claims that “the Chiefs paid African-American business employees less than their white counterparts,” per the Associated Press.
The Huntsville, Ala. native redshirted for the Crimson Tide in 2002 but played in 2003, 2005 and 2006. He was the very last pick of the 2007 NFL Draft and played his first two seasons with the Detroit Lions. Robinson was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009 and the Cleveland Browns after being waived in the same year.
