The Chicago White Sox are dealing with a discrimination lawsuit after the state's First District Appellate Court reinstated claims from former trainer Brian Ball. He alleges that he was misled about the reasons for his firing in 2020, and that the separation agreement he signed was invalid due to alleged concealment of the truth. This lawsuit comes on the heels of a challenging season, raising concerns for team management while fans remain hopeful for the upcoming season.
The allegations in Ball's complaint directly challenge the validity of the termination agreement. If, as he alleges, the White Sox procured his signature by concealing the truth, it would not constitute a valid agreement.
Ball subsequently was told by a team employee that the team fired him because of his sexual orientation. That's when he filed the lawsuit that was dismissed by the trial court.
