A judge on Thursday made it likely she'll rule in weeks rather than months whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell gets to decide the merits of racial discrimination claims.
NEW YORK — A judge on Thursday made it likely she'll rule in weeks rather than months whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell gets to decide the merits of racial discrimination claims made by Black coaches against the league and its teams, saying an effort to gather more evidence seems like"an impermissible fishing expedition."
"Because Plaintiffs should know whether they entered into any other contracts or agreements that would affect their agreement to arbitrate, the Court can only assume that they are attempting to embark on an impermissible fishing expedition," Caproni wrote. The NFL and six of its teams say the lawsuit they maintain is"without merit" is required to go to arbitration, where Goodell would be the arbitrator, according to the terms laid out in employment contracts and the NFL's constitution.
Attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor and John Elefterakis, representing Flores, said in a statement that they are"confident that we will defeat the efforts of the NFL to move this matter into a private and confidential arbitration behind closed doors."
