Two NFL players have recently filed discrimination claims together against the league with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Torrie Cox and Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman are the players that joined together to file the discrimination suits.

The two players were both suspended from the league for repeated violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Thurman and Cox claim the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has indicated they are alcoholics and discriminated against them. Both players are seeking to have their suspensions reversed.
