A Former Jacksonville Jaguars Kicker is suing his NFL team claiming his former coach consistently created a “hostile work environment”

Josh Lambo alleges head coach Urban Meyer “kicked him in the leg and used profanity to insult and warn him to make his kicks” during a pre-game practice last year.

Lambo claims the coach screamed, “hey dipshit make your fucking kicks” while kicking him. Lambo then replied, “don’t ever kick me again.”

Coach Meyer responded, “I’m the head ball coach, I’ll kick you whenever I want.”

Meyer also claims Meyer conducted and “initiated a pattern of harassment, and created a hostile work environment.”

The former NFL player claims he told the team about the incident, through his agent, but an investigation was never launched.

Now, Lambo has filed the lawsuit in a Florida Court seeking back pay of his 3.5 million dollar salary for 2021, plus damages for emotional distress.

Coach Meyer has denied the claims and says they’re “inaccurate” and there are eyewitnesses to prove it.

U.S. and Israel strike Iran, escalating war fears and risking wider regional conflict for the second time in eight months

In Short:
– U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran amid fears of a broader regional conflict.
– Iranian officials warn that attacks could lead to full-scale war as they prepare for retaliation.

The attack marks the second war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran within eight months, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict in a critically important economic area.Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed the strikes and declared a state of emergency across all areas of Israel.

The U.S. also carried out strikes as part of the operation, according to a U.S. official.

The military operation followed a month of U.S. military buildup, ignited by President Trump’s commitment to support Iranian protesters who demonstrated against the regime in January.

The President consistently warned Iran could face military action if it continued its nuclear program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran’s responses in two negotiation rounds failed to meet U.S. expectations.

Escalating Tensions

Iranian officials cautioned that any attack would provoke retaliation, warning that even minor strikes could escalate into a full-scale regional war.

The nation has prepared for conflict by mobilising its forces, reinforcing its nuclear facilities, decentralising decision-making, and tightening internal security measures.
