17. In 2010, Defendant Jed York, the CEO of the 49ers, was actively looking for additional revenue streams for the 49ers, including making active attempts to move the San Francisco 49ers to a new stadium in Silicon Valley, so that the 49ers could be rebranded as a team within the NFL that was “technology” driven. As part of that strategy, York hired Gideon Yu, a former executive at Facebook, YouTube, and Yahoo. Defendant York hired Mr. Yu as the 49ers’ Chief Strategy Officer, and, in April 2011, York informed the employees that Mr. Yu would be working closely with him to re-brand the 49ers as a technology “startup” within the NFL, so that they could achieve their objective of moving the 49ers to a new stadium in Silicon Valley. When Mr. Yu arrived for work at the 49ers, he openly referred to the older workers as “legacy employees,” a discriminatory term used to describe older employees in Silicon Valley.

18. As part of that technology strategy, in December 2012, Defendant York openly admitted that he wanted to hire the predominantly younger technology workers from the neighboring Silicon Valley technology companies. When asked why the 49ers wanted to hire these young technology workers, York said, “Because they made a lot of money, they did a lot of cool things before they turned 40 years old, and they don’t want to go play golf six days a week.” As a result, York and his staff engaged in an active strategy to quietly recruit younger technology workers to join the management and senior leadership ranks of the 49ers.

19. In order to make room for the younger technology workers, York engaged in a campaign to terminate the older, senior managers within the 49ers organization. For example, when York was reviewing the resumes of potential employees in late-2010, York was faced with two potentially qualified candidates for the job. When asked which of the two candidates he wanted to hire, York said, “Let’s go with the younger one.”

So easy to see the other side of all of these "complaints". Sounds to me like they just want to get paid. I've worked in Tech all my life...so it ain't like anything there is groundbreaking.

Just like any other walk of life INCLUDING football...if your employer thinks they can get your job done with someone younger and cheaper, they will. In a heartbeat.

Umm... Actually, Mr Melvin, among the myriad stupid things you've ever posted here that's right up there. Discrimination against people over 40 is just as federally illegal as discrimination against blacks. It's referred to as a 'protected group'. What you just said is "Meh, I've been working in Alabama for years and I've seen it a million times. If management doesn't want darkies, they just get fired. Nothing to see here, just move along."

I thought I'd seen some amazing thing here on .net...but wow. Hyperbole out of control.

Actually if you expand what your saying yes.

Example,

Manufacturing, lets keep younger workers with better dexterity and wages, nobody older then 28, but nobody younger then 23, youngsters have bad attendance and we don't get the return on training.

Construction, strength and stamina decrease after 40, so no workers over 40.

Across the board no workers over 50, they begin to have medical issues and require time off to address them.

Women, they have babies and monthly cycles that cause them to miss time, they also have emotional swings that can create personality conflicts, require all women that would like to be employed to have hysterectomy's and a no adopt clause.

People of color, the stats show people of color have a higher arrest record then those that are white, can't hire those either.



It can go on and on, that's why we have anti discrimination laws, age, race, gender, orientation, they are not enforced as they should be and corporations and governments are not standing up for those that it is being applied to, but that will come around again. People Like York and others are getting more blatant in who they look down upon, those ivory towers will crash down at some point.
