NFL Coach Brian Flores can press discrimination claims against the league and three teams after a federal judge on Wednesday rejected the option of arbitration, presumably before Commissioner Roger Goodell, and offered some stinging observations about the status of racial bias in the sport.
The judge said Flores can let a jury decide the merits of his discrimination claims against the league, the Denver Broncos, the New York Giants and the Houston Texans, but he must pursue his claims against the Miami Dolphins through arbitration. He said the NFL planned “to move forward promptly with arbitrations as directed by the Court and to seek to dismiss the remaining claims.”
The Dolphins responded to the lawsuit when it was filed by saying it vehemently denied any allegations of racial discrimination and was “proud of the diversity and inclusion throughout our organization.”When he brought the lawsuit, Flores said he knew he was risking his coaching career that he loves, but he hoped to bring positive change for generations to come by challenging systemic racism in the league.

man i hope he wins
Why isn't Mike Tomlin part of this lawsuit? Oh, wait, he can actually coach well enough to win his share.
Something is wrong with the owner if winning is not the top priority in picking a coach. Most rich owners only care about winning not race.
He's got a case.
