The contract dispute between former XFL commissioner Oliver Luck and league owner Vince McMahon spilled into the public eye Wednesday through a response to Luck’s wrongful termination lawsuit.
McMahon’s attorneys said he fired Luck “for cause” and cited three examples of what he called a failure to follow “multiple” XFL policies and directives.
Luck received his termination notice April 9, one day before the XFL suspended operations and three days before it declared bankruptcy. The league is now for sale, according to McMahon’s attorneys.
