Lawsuit by Black former Brooklyn Nets staffers charging racial discrimination has been settled, with no further details.

So, were two Black former team attendants for the Brooklyn Nets not re-hired/let go because of racial discrimination, as they charged in a federal lawsuit? 

Or were Eddie Bolden and Juwan Williams overstating allegations against their white supervisor, as the team argued, among other pushback?

Well, as I wrote earlier this month, it was impossible to fully resolve the factual dispute without it being tested in court--or, perhaps, left unresolved if a settlement is negotiated. 

Instead of "perhaps," I should've writtten "more likely," because cases like these often don't go to trial--the costs of ligitation are just too high.

Indeed, yesterday we learned from a case filing in federal court (right) that the case was settled, with (of course) no details about what might have been paid, or any other provisions.
