Tom Brady’s lawsuit against the N.F.L. in which he wants his four-game suspension overturned will be heard in New York instead of Minnesota.
Brady and the players’ union filed their suit Wednesday in Minnesota.

Judge Richard Kyle of Federal District Court ordered the transfer.
The judge wrote that he “sees little reason for this action to have been commenced in Minnesota at all.
