NFL's Hollis Thomas Fired from Philly Radio Gig, Suggests Racial Discrimination

Ex-Philadelphia Eagles star Hollis Thomas says his firing from his gig on a Philly sports radio station may have been racially motivated ... and a lawsuit is at least crossing his mind.

The 45-year-old former defensive tackle (who spent 10 seasons with the Eagles) made regular appearances on 94.1 WIP -- until recently. Many wondered what happened -- and on Tuesday he went on the Josh Innes podcast to explain.

Long story short ... Hollis says he caught flack from WIP for appearing on Green Legion Radio, which WIP considers to be a competitor.
