Robinson worked for the Chiefs for nine years. After his employment was terminated, he sued the Chiefs.
The former Kansas City Chiefs employee has filed a lawsuit against the team for racial discrimination, and according to Margaret Fleming of Front Office Sports, Ramzee Robinson, a Black man, filed a complaint in the Western District of Missouri this past Wednesday.
He claimed that the Chiefs paid their Black employees less than their White counterparts.
Robinson, who spent nearly a decade with the Chiefs and most recently served as Director of Player Engagement, says the team unfairly fired him in February 2025. Why? According to him, his boss accused him of attacking a white female coworker and said there was security footage to back up their claims.
Ramzee Robinson claims that he never saw this alleged footage. Even after he asked to see it multiple times, he was still shown nothing, and he was then promptly fired from the organization six days after the Chiefs lost in the Super Bowl.
He also says the real reason behind his firing was less related to the alleged incident and more to his push for fair compensation.

Former Kansas City Chiefs employee and ex-NFL player Ramzee Robinson has sued the Chiefs, alleging racial discrimination.
The lawsuit claims that the Chiefs “unlawfully discriminated and retaliated against Plaintiff based on his race” and “unlawfully terminated” Robinson.
The wrongful discharge lawsuit also includes a claim based on an alleged effort by the Texans to hire him.
The relevant language in the complaint appears in paragraph 24: “Some months before his termination, Mark Donovan pressured Plaintiff to renew his contract and claimed that the contract would offer him stability. After Plaintiff signed, the Houston Texans asked KC Chiefs’ management to interview Plaintiff. The KC Chiefs refused. The KC Chiefs told the Texans that an interview would violate his contract. Plaintiff discovered this information when a representative from the Texans called him personally and asked him about this missed opportunity.”
Per Pro Football Talk, the Texans’ effort to hire Ramzee Robinson could lead to a tampering investigation.
