Another Discrimination Lawsuit Against Chivas USA

Cynthia Craig (who is listed in the article as "black") recently filed a discrimination suit against MLS side Chivas USA. The side has been alleged to be signing only Mexican players and sending off anyone who isn't, keeping in line with the policy of their Guadalajara-based parent club. Craig claims four coaches from Mexico were hired in January, but were not authorized to work in the U.S. When she was ordered to add them to the payroll, she refused, and management payed them in other ways. The coaches later received their visa's in April.
Craig also alleges owner Jorge Vergara held meetings in Spanish, and told employees "If you didn’t understand what I just said, then it is time for you to get a job down the hall," meaning the L.A. Galaxy. This follows claims by Ted Chronopoulos and Dan Calichman in their May lawsuit, in which they claim Vergara told employees "If you don’t speak Spanish, you can go work for the Galaxy, unless you speak Chinese, which is not even a language."
Chivas USA shares a stadium with LA Galaxy, ironically the first team in American pro sports to play an openly gay player.
