McDonald’s will pay $33.5m to a former baseball player who owns multiple franchises to end a lawsuit he brought against the company accusing it of racial discrimination.Herb Washington, who is Black, owned more than a dozen restaurants in Ohio and Pennsylvania when he filed a lawsuit in February that said the company has treated white owners more favourably and denied him the opportunity to buy restaurants in more affluent communities.McDonald’s said in a statement Thursday that the amount it was paying Washington was “no more than what we deem a fair price for the value of the restaurants”, Cleveland.com reported.
