Woman To Sue Mlb

A businesswoman is scrapping plans to bring a minor-league team to the city, and intends to sue major league baseball for discriminating against her.

Sherrie Myers accused Jimmie Lee Solomon, executive director of minor league baseball, of saying he did not intend to approve any application for Dayton if it did not include a minority-group member as majority owner.

“This is a very clear case of reverse discrimination,” said Myers, who is white. “For major league baseball to discriminate against me simply because of the color of my skin has no foundation in their existing rules and is unconstitutional and clearly illegal.”
