簡單來說就是因為待遇問題
不過怎麼演變成種族歧視事件的?
Ex-Fed Cup captain Garrison suit dropped
Sep 17, 7:29 pm EDT
NEW YORK (AP)—Former Fed Cup captain Zina Garrison has settled her racial
discrimination lawsuit with the U.S. Tennis Association.
Papers filed in federal court on Wednesday show that a deal was signed on
Aug. 27, though its terms were not disclosed.
U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said the association is
happy the case was resolved and was looking forward to working with Garrison
in the future.
Garrison filed her lawsuit in February, saying she was treated unfairly
because she was paid a lower salary than Davis Cup coach Patrick McEnroe and
was held to higher standards.
Attorneys on both sides did not immediately return messages for comment.
The USTA announced in December 2007 that 2008 would be Garrison’s final
season at the helm.
Garrison, the first black captain of the U.S. Fed Cup team, replaced Billie
Jean King in 2004. As a player, Garrison was the 1990 Wimbledon runner-up,
becoming the first black woman since Althea Gibson in 1958 to reach a Grand
Slam singles final.
