Judge Rules Brian Flores’ Discrimination Lawsuit Can Proceed In Court

A new update from Brian Flores’ discrimination lawsuit against the NFL. After months of stagnation, a judge has ruled Flores can proceed with his suit against the league in court instead of it being forced into arbitration.

According to the Associated Press via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Federal Judge Valerie Caproni wrote that Flores’ case can proceed to a jury in his case against the NFL, the Houston Texans, and Denver Broncos. However, his allegations and suit against the Miami Dolphins must be taken to arbitration.

For months, the NFL has attempted to get all of Flores’ claims against them and their teams taken to arbitration.
