A federal judge ruled that former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores can pursue claims against three teams and the NFL in his racial discrimination lawsuit, writing that the case “shines an unflattering spotlight on the employment practices of NFL teams.”
. The suit had listed the other NFL teams, identified as “John Doe teams 1 through 26,” as defendants.“We are pleased that Coach Flores’ class claims of systematic discrimination against the NFL and several teams will proceed in court and ultimately before a jury of his peers,” Douglas H. Wigdor, an attorney for Flores, said in a statement. “We are disappointed the court compelled arbitration of any claims before Mr. Goodell as he is obviously biased and unqualified to rule on these matters.
We look forward to pursuing all these claims to trial in their various forums.”“Diversity and inclusion throughout the NFL make us a better organization,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. “We recognize there is more work to be done and we are deeply committed to doing it.
