Black NFL Doctor Files Suit Alleging Racial Discrimination

The only Black head team doctor in the NFL is suing his former employers, the Atlanta Falcons and Emory University, for racial discrimination and retaliation.

Dr. Brandon Mines has also listed his former supervisors Dr. Kenneth Mautner and Dr. Scott Bolden in the lawsuit.

In the June 1 complaint, Mines claimed his rights had been violated after he was fired from the Falcons.
