co-owner Terry Pegula’s name has been included in a lawsuit recently filed by Jim Trotter, in which the former NFL Network reporter claims Pegula has been the subject of racial discrimination.
Trotter’s suit comes after he claims that his contract with the league-owned cable channel was not renewed because he challenged NFL president Roger Goodell on the lack of diversity at the NFL’s highest positions including coaches and positions within the league office.
“The N.F.L. has claimed it wants to be held accountable regarding diversity, equity and inclusion,” Trotter said in a statement reported by The New York Times.
