ATLANTA — A former Atlanta Hawks employee is accusing the professional basketball club of discriminating against white people and firing her after she complained. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Margo Kline filed a lawsuit Friday seeking punitive damages and a trial. The lawsuit says Hawks external affairs director David Lee, who is black, promoted a culture of discrimination against white people, and especially white women. The Hawks statement says discrimination claims are taken seriously and Kline’s were thoroughly reviewed. ——Information from: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, http://www.ajc.com
