Quote:
Essentially, the players are contending that they have been viewed as alcoholics in the eyes of the NFL, and that perception is the basis for the punitive actions that were imposed by commissioner Roger Goodell. The players were suspended for repeat violations of the NFL substance abuse policy.
The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employers from discriminating against workers with disabilities. Representatives for the players contend in the separate lawsuits that alcoholism is a disability.
