Bowlero CEO Tom Shannon on Wednesday called discrimination claims against the fast-growing bowling alley operator "absurd," but acknowledged the federal probe into those allegations may have hurt its stock price.
They don't pass any common sense," Shannon told CNBC's "Mad Money with Jim Cramer."
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in January proposed to settle its sprawling investigation into age discrimination and retaliation claims against Bowlero for $60 million, CNBC reported last month.
"Could [the investigation] be driving the stock down?"
We have never been hit with anything, you know, in terms of evidentiary findings or anything like that," Shannon added.
