A youth football coach in Ohio booked a short stay at an area hotel when his furnace went down on Super Bowl Sunday, but was turned away after the front desk manager saw that he was Black, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
LeRon “Rocky” Turner, a Dayton resident who earns his living as a long-haul trucker, is a “proud rewards member” of the multinational hotel chain and has never had any issues there previously, his complaint states.
