Lawyers for three Black NFL coaches bashed league commissioner Roger Goodell in their latest filing calling for their racial bias lawsuit to go in front of a jury, not arbitration.
You can now listen to Fox News articles!— Brian Flores, Steve Wilks and Ray Horton — alleging racial bias by the league fired their latest response at league commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday.
The shots at Goodell stem from the commissioner being named as the one to oversee and rule on the dispute through the arbitration process. The lawyers feel his decision won’t be objective. "Defendants have selected the NFL’s Commissioner as the person to oversee and rule on a dispute as to whether the NFL and teams have engaged in systemic discrimination," they wrote."Nobody could credibly argue that the Commissioner could somehow act objectively when he : has earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the teams ; will be a witness in this matter; and has already issued a public statement that Plaintiffs’ allegations are without merit.
