Nine former security representatives recently fired by the National Football League claim they were let go simply because they were more than 60 years old, according to an age discrimination suit filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

According to the complaint, the nine plaintiffs are all physically and mentally fit former law enforcement officers who had served as with the league from between 11 and 49 years. Five of the plaintiffs are in their 70s, while the other four are in their 60s.
