Overview

  • Robinson filed a federal lawsuit accusing the Chiefs of racial discrimination, wrongful termination and retaliation in February.
  • He contends Black employees were paid less than white colleagues, pointing to his $125,000 salary versus a $171,932 NFL average and an $80,000 salary for his white successor.
  • The suit alleges the Chiefs blocked his request to interview with the Houston Texans by citing contractual restrictions.
  • Robinson says he was accused of assaulting a female co-worker and terminated without ever being shown the security video cited against him.
  • Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee said the organization does not tolerate discrimination and looks forward to facts emerging during the ongoing case.
