Why would that many people care that they have to walk through a metal detector? I'm guessing (maybe hoping) that the ones that say 'granted' are really just the ones that walked through.

Samuel R. Hayes, a former security operations manager for the team, claims that he was fired because of his race. He also alleges that the team implements different security procedures depending on the race of the people attending the event.

"Mr. Hayes goes into great detail describing how black celebrities and event attendees were asked to go through security before entering the arena, while white individuals were often allowed to bypass the security line," Attorney Anthony Nguyen says. "Although the Hawks have called the claims 'baseless,' some of Mr. Hayes' former co-workers have confirmed the allegations are true."

"Additionally, Mr. Hayes claims that he was terminated from his position solely because of his race," Nguyen continues. "If this is true, it is clear that racial discrimination is pervasive within the Atlanta Hawks organization."

"This is not the first time that the Atlanta Hawks have been associated with racial discrimination," Nguyen says. "And unfortunately, if the courts do not hold the appropriate parties accountable for these discriminatory practices, it will probably not be the last time, either."
