A former executive at Fox Sports filed a lawsuit against the network on grounds of racial discrimination.

Jerry Davis filed suit in a Los Angeles Superior Court Friday (April 5) claiming to have been overlooked for several promotions, and later fired—all for being Black. In February, Davis took a leave of absence, which the company turned into a permanent deal. Prior to getting pink-slipped, Davis filed a racial prejudice complaint against Fox Sports with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). He worked as director of Fox Sports’ music department for over 15 years. During that time, the position as VP of music came up four times, and Davis was overlooked each time.

The 52-year-old has a degree from U.C. Berkeley, and over 23 years of experience in the music industry, but asserts to have never been promoted within Fox. He goes on to accuse the company of not letting Black employees climb too high on the corporate letter. Davis is seeking damages on several counts, including unlawful discrimination, failure to prevent unlawful discrimination, wrongful termination, and emotional distress.

In addition to Fox Sports, Davis is suing Fox Cable Network Services, Fox Sports Net, and Fox Networks Group. The payout that he is seeking will be revealed during trial.
