Arizona Cardinals Owner Michael Bidwill has found himself at the center of allegations that he had a “racially charged” verbal encounter with a black employee, ESPN reports.

ESPN has produced a report citing an arbitration complaint by former Cardinals Vice President Terry McDonough, who charges his former employer with misconduct and discrimination.

Specifically, ESPN writers Tisha Thompson and Josh Weinfuss tell of an incident in which former Cardinals Vice President of Player Personnel Terry McDonough claims Bidwill berated a black employee in a “racially charged manner.”

“The complaint also states McDonough was ‘aware of two separate instances in which Bidwill reduced to tears two pregnant employees as a result of his abusive and bullying mistreatment,'” ESPN reports.

The three people reportedly involved in the alleged racial incident and the incident involving the pregnant women did not respond to ESPN’s request for comment. It’s also not clear led McDonough to conclude that the alleged encounter was “racially charged.”

The Cardinals have called McDonough’s allegations “outlandish.”

How long before ESPN calls for the team to be sold to a new owner?

“Racially charged” is pretty vague.

Someone was mean to someone of a protected class and must be punished.

Thats what society has been reduced to .

My supposition based solely on the current social climate is as follows:

Successful white male spoke truth to a female employee with a different racial background who didn’t like what he had to say. Cue the emotionally manipulated woke machine to get even, and then proceed to ruin whatever is left.

"When things happen and it's a male authority figure raising their voice at me, it just sends me into a blackout, to be quite honest," said one of the sources. "It's pervasive."

What babies.

This entire article is ridiculous.

quote:

Wilks, who is Black, is a co-plaintiff in a pending class action by former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores that alleges hiring discrimination by the NFL and its teams, including the Cardinals. The Cardinals went 3-13 during Wilks' single season with the team. Wilks alleges the Cardinals considered him a "bridge coach" and gave him no "meaningful chance to succeed" before his dismissal after the 2018 season.

The Cardinals have previously said in a statement, "The decisions we made after the 2018 season were very difficult ones. But as we said at the time, they were entirely driven by what was in the best interests of our organization and necessary for team improvement."

Attorneys agreed not to ask Wilks about issues of race during his deposition in the McDonough case because of the Flores class action, but Wilks said in his testimony that he had been the object of Bidwill's anger during his time with the Cardinals -- including an incident in which Bidwill swore at him on speakerphone while Wilks was in the car with his 9-year-old son. Wilks said his son later asked him, "Daddy, why is that guy talking to you like that?"

Gee, I wonder why he was angry. You finished 3-13.

I agree with the sentiment, but, Tisha is a writer for ESPN, not the employee.

Racially charged to me means something like a "you people" said by a person in a position of greater power to a person of people of lesser power.

It’s what fuels new vehicles driven by white supremacists.
