Fired Zamboni Driver Accuses Red Wings of Cover-Up
Al Sobotka, a longtime Zamboni driver for the Detroit Red Wings, has filed a lawsuit alleging age and disability discrimination after being fired for urinating in a drain due to a medical condition. He claims that the Red Wings' parent company engaged in a cover-up and that the decision to fire him was made by executives who were not familiar with his case. Despite his 51-year career with the team, including iconic traditions like spinning octopi over his head, Sobotka feels he was treated unfairly and is seeking justice through legal action.
