We may never know...
Former Viking Leo Lewis was fired as Minneapolis North High athletic director, supporters sayEx-Viking among three ousted Mpls. administrators.In the first public comments made since North High School athletic director Leo Lewis was placed on administrative leave in December, his lawyer said Tuesday that he was unjustly fired last month.
Lewis, a former Vikings player, was the first of three mostly unexplained departures from the athletics programs in Minneapolis schools.
"We're looking to make sure the public understands Dr. Leo's name is extremely important to him," Obie Kipper Jr., said at a news conference he said was intended to clear Lewis' name.
Kipper, a Lewis supporter, and Mack Reed, a lawyer with the Madel law firm that's representing Lewis, repeatedly declined to say what they were seeking and bristled at the notion they were threatening a lawsuit.
Lewis did not attend the news conference.
Kipper said when Lewis was fired last month, he was told that he had failed to protect district resources or follow policies, procedures and best practices. There is no criminal investigation into Lewis' work and he has no additional information about what caused his firing, Kipper said.
