Former AD sues Sandusky district over firing

Anyone know anything about this?

SANDUSKY (AP) — A former high school athletic director in Michigan’s Thumb region says he was illegally fired after expressing concern about inequities in girls’ sports.
Drake Okie filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the Sandusky school district, 90 miles north of Detroit. After one year, Okie says his contract was not renewed in 2010. He says he never had an opportunity to plead his case to the school board.
He says the district retaliated after he complained that boys had better facilities and support than girls in Sandusky. Okie says he also reported possible misuse of money by the Sandusky Alumni Foundation.
Sandusky Superintendent Michael Carmean says he hasn’t seen the lawsuit and won’t comment. Okie wants to regain his job and get back pay and other benefits.

Sour grapes by Okie after his "Obama money" contract expired and was not renewed. Frankly, he was a pretty lame A.D.
