An attorney for Brian Flores argued NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would not be a fair arbitrator in the lawsuit against the league alleging racist hiring practices, via ESPN.
Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its 32 teams in February after he was fired by the Miami Dolphins, with former coaches Steve Wilks and Ray Horton later joining the suit. After the initial filing, the NFL released a statement claiming the charges were "without merit."
Attorney Douglas Wigdor argued at a federal hearing in Manhattan on Monday that this statement showed an "unconscionable bias of the arbitrator.
