Bills owner Terry Pegula allegedly made a racist comment about Black players in the NFL, according to a racial discrimination lawsuit against the league.
owner Terry Pegula allegedly made a racist comment about Black players in the NFL, according to a racial discrimination lawsuit against the league files Tuesday by longtime reporter Jim Trotter.
The reporter, who was not identified in the lawsuit, told Trotter and approximately 40 other NFL Media coworkers during a Zoom call that Pegula said:"If the Black players don't like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is." Jones' comment allegedly was made during a conversation with Trotter about"why teams have so few Black decision makers," according to the lawsuit. Trotter, who described the exchange as"rather contentious," stated that Jones ultimately suggested that he and Trotter"should 'agree to disagree' about the NFL's issues with race."
Trotter's employment at league-owned NFL Media, which oversees the NFL Network, ended earlier this year. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the South District of New York, names the NFL and NFL Network as defendants and alleges that Trotter was terminated because he"challenged Commissioner Roger Goodell and others regarding the NFL's record of race discrimination and lack of diversity.
