Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula is accused of making a racist comment in reference to the NFL's Black players, a race discrimination lawsuit filed by former NFL Media reporter Jim Trotter claims. Pegula has denied making the comment.
Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula speaks prior to the groundbreaking ceremony at the site of the new Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., Monday June 5, 2023. Pegula, 72, is accused of making racist comments against Black players in the NFL, a racial discrimination lawsuit filed by ex-NFL Media reporter Jim Trotter claims.
Trotter, who is Black, implored the executive of the league-owned NFL Media to investigate Pegula’s comments, the lawsuit claims, but he was “repeatedly brushed off and told that ‘the league office is investigating it.’”“The statement attributed to me in Mr. Trotter’s complaint is absolutely false,” Pegula said in. “I am horrified that anyone would connect me to an allegation of this kind.
“Our job is to make sure to be factual,” Goodell said. “These are not new charges, they are actually a couple years old. They have been looked into. You heard the strong denials. There is litigation going on now. It will be addressed.”
