WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the Los Angeles Dodgers (Dodgers) and the investment firm Guggenheim Partners for apparently engaging in unlawful discrimination under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Both entities are led by Mark Walter, the majority owner of the Dodgers and the CEO of Guggenheim Partners. According to his biography on the Dodgers’ website, he is a self-described “social-justice advocate.” AFL’s complaint alleges that the Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners appear to be engaging in similar unlawful DEI practices by allowing race, color, and sex to motivate employment decisions.
