The hits keep on coming for the Eagles.
Gossip guy Dan Gross is reporting that Bonnie Grant, a former Eagles spokesperson, is suing the Birds, alleging discrimination regarding her gender and health. Grant is a breast cancer survivor.
According to Grant's complaint, the Eagles began to "issue petty and unsupported discipline" against Grant and directed her not to discuss her cancer history.
Grant claims she was terminated without warning and without cause on Oct. 12, 2007 and, in an effort "to conceal her unlawful termination," the Eagles created an e-mail that "misappropriated" Grant's identity and was sent to anyone who wrote to her Eagles e-mail.
Gross previously reported in October 2007 that Grant was fired after taking the fall for the Eagles' front-office outrage over a Daily News front-page story by Chris Brennan about measures to cut down on tailgating during home games.
Gross also said that Grant was upset that the Eagles had set up an e-mail auto-reply that purported to be written by her and referenced that she had left the team to "pursue other interests."
The Eagles deny any wrongdoing.
"In February 2008, Bonnie Grant made claim to the EEOC, the governmental agency responsible for these issues. There was no investigation with regard to her claim. The Philadelphia Eagles were not even asked to respond to the charge," [Pamela Browner Crawley, the Eagles' senior vice president of public affairs] told Gross.
