• Hockey player Jason Bailey claims his minor league coaches made anti-semitic remarks. Bailey alleges that head coach Mark Raymond and assistant coach Mark Pedersen, of the Bakersfield Condors (the Ducks minor league affiliate to which he was assigned), made anti-semitic remarks around him. The suit claims that Raymond said Jews “only care about money and who’s who,” and that he didn’t want his son to be Jewish or ever wear a yarmulke. Pedersen is alleged to have said, “I just got a friend request from a dirty Jew.” Bailey, who is Jewish, is seeking unspecified damages for the team creating a “hostile work environment.” No kidding. source
