U.S. District Court in St. Louis filed a consent decree filed Wednesday, saying that the St. Louis Rams will pay Ronald DuBuque $100,000 in damages and award him a $34,000, two-year contract to work as a rehabilitation specialist.
DuBuque is an 11-year assistant trainer for the Rams. In 2006, the team claimed he was a medical liability because he was diagnosed with trauma-induced epilepsy in 1984. Then DuBuque complained that the Rams did not renew his contract that year and the complaint caused the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to file the lawsuit claiming the Rams discriminated against the trainer because of his seizure disorder.
It was really satirization for what Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff’s statement, which said that the Rams had not and would never judge an employee on anything other than their ability to perform their job.
