Browns and NFL Sued Over Racial Bias in Hiring
Walter Beach, former Cleveland Browns defensive back, accuses the Browns and the National Football League of conspiring to deny him a job because of race and political views. Beach, a Black player who appeared 1962 to 1967, seeks triple damages and costs. He alleges a pattern of racially tinged incidents and cites management’s reactions to his social commentary after 1966 Cleveland riots. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court on May 28, claims waivers and unclaimed trades prevented his reentry and that he wrote to 16 NFL clubs without being hired.
