Trump: You�re Sued
James W. Schottel Jr. recently filed a federal lawsuit against Trump Productions, LLC and Mark Burnett Productions, Inc., over their application process for The Apprentice.
An attorney in St. Louis and a quadriplegic, Schottel claims the audition rules demanding excellent physical health are discriminatory. Also the 32�year�old considers such a rule unnecessary as the competition is based on brains not any sort of physical agility. In its first 3 seasons, The Apprentice hasn�t featured any contestants with physical disabilities. Schottel would like to be the first.
�To be a corporate executive, I don�t think you need to be able to run 100 yards or run a flight of steps or anything of that nature,� Schottel told the St. Louis Post�Dispatch. �I�m a fan of the show, and I�m a fan of Mr. Trump�I think that if anything he would admire me for standing up for what I believe in.�
