He filed the lawsuit at the United States District Court for the West District of Missouri on Sunday.
In the lawsuit, Robinson states that he was called to a meeting in February and accused of attacking a co -worker, and that the bosses refused to show him a security video of the meeting. Robinson was finally fired from his position, which involved the management of changing rooms, tutoring and other responsibilities within the team.

The lawsuit states that Robinson received a salary of $ 125,000 for the Chiefs, but that his research found that other NFL teams paid comparable positions an average salary of $ 171,932, not including other benefits. He also states that “Chiefs paid African -American commercial employees less than their white counterparts.”
The Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee told News on Wednesday that, although he could not comment on pending legal matters, “to be clear, the Chiefs do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”
