Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New York

I emailed a club team to tryout for a league and received the following response verbatim.

"Hello Shai,

Are you Jewish? Our club has a strict policy against signing any jewish players in the roster.

Sincerely,

(their team) "

Do I have a case here?

Whoa! That's a pretty solid piece of evidence to have but the real answer depends on how public or private this league is. If it's a small private football club, there's not much you can do legally. If it's open to the public, then they would have problems.

Email me if you'd like to discuss this further.
