Chiefs Win Age-Discrimination Lawsuit

Chiefs helmetA Jackson County jury decided that the Kansas City Chiefs did not discriminate against an older maintenance manager when he was fired in 2010.

The jury reached the verdict Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by 61-year-old Steve Cox, who claimed he was fired so the team could hire a younger replacement.

The Chiefs contended during the trial that Cox was fired for giving an employee a raise in defiance of his supervisor’s wishes.

Two additional age-discrimination lawsuits against the Chiefs are awaiting trials. The former employees also claim they were wrongly fired.
