This morning, Pro Football Talk tweeted out the first look NFL fans have
gotten at longtime NFL reporter Jim Trotter’s discrimination suit against
the NFL.

Consider the source.

Trotter’s suit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, names the National Football League and NFL Network,
Trotter’s former employer, as defendants. The complaint filed on Trotter’s
behalf spans a full 53 pages, but PFT tweeted out a few of the allegations
contained therein, including allegations of statements that confirm that
racial equality is still a big problem in the NFL.

Remember all those “End Racism” block letters in the endzones? Take a look
at what Trotter alleges owners Jerry Jones and Terry Pegula have said in
his presence. Trotter’s lawsuit alleges, in part:

4) As one such example, Terry Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Bills, stated
inteference to player protests against racial injustice that, “If the
Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see
how bad it is.” See infra at SIII(D).

Mr. Trotter says he raised complaints and concerns about this remark, but
no action was taken.

6. As another example, Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, responded
to a question posed by Mr. Trotter regarding the dearth of Black
professionals in decision making positions for NFL teams by stating, “If
Blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who
they want to hire.” See infra at SIII(C). Mr. Trotter raised complaints
and concerns about this remark but no remedial action was taken.

For his part, Pegula quickly issued a statement denying Trotter’s
accusations.

“The statement attributed to me in Mr. Trotter’s complaint is absolutely
false. I am horrified that anyone would connect me to an allegation of
this kind,” Pegula said. “Racism has no place in our society and I am
personally disgusted that my name is associated with this complaint.”

The revelation of Jones’ comments, specifically, come less than a year
after that infamous photo of the Cowboys owner joining in on a crowd of
students attempting to block six Black students as they tried to
desegregate North Little Rock High School. That picture should have been
enough of a smoking gun for anyone who doubted Jones’ views on race, but
Jones’ supporters argued that the picture was taken decades ago and that
people change and evolve. Well.

As for Pegula, here’s the statement he and his wife, Kim, released back in
April of 2021, following the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of
George Floyd:

“Today’s verdict brings accountability for the senseless murder of George
Floyd, but the fight to end racism and hate in our country continues.
There is so much more work to be done.

Our organizations are continuously learning how to be a productive part of
the movement against racial injustices.

We urge everyone to focus on love and equality to peacefully make change.”

This is developing story. Deadspin will continue to update this page as
more information becomes available.
