Commanders President Jason Wright: NFL Can Improve Diversity if Teams Commit to It

Washington Commanders president Jason Wright believes NFL owners can help create quick change in regards to improving diversity.

"The system is not working well," Wright said Thursday, via John Keim of ESPN. "With a specific nod to the situation in Miami, I try not to meddle in other people's business. I will say that if ownership is fully committed to diversity and inclusion, change can happen very rapidly."

The discussion comes after former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a 58-page lawsuit against the NFL and its teams on Tuesday. Flores alleges racial discrimination in the league's hiring practices, specifically claiming the New York Giants brought him in for a sham interview to satisfy the Rooney Rule after already picking Brian Daboll as the next head coach.
