Settlement Summary

The Washington Nationals, a Major League Baseball team based in Washington D.C., have agreed to a $3 million class action settlement over allegations of age discrimination. The lawsuit was filed by individuals who were aged 40 or older and bought a single-game ticket for a Nationals home game during the 2023 or 2024 baseball season. The issue at hand arose from the Nationals denying these fans access to a “Millennial” or “Young Professional Discount” offered to people under 40, a move claimed to be a violation of the D.C. Human Rights Act. The settlement offers either a cash payment or a ticket credit to the class members who qualify, with cash payments calculated as 62.2% of actual damages.
