Mike Florio on NFL on NBC unpacks the massive legal shockwaves following the Supreme Court’s decision to decline the NFL’s appeal regarding Brian Flores’s class-action discrimination lawsuit. In Unpacking Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL, including next steps | PFTPM (FULL) | NFL on NBC, Florio details how this monumental ruling forces the league out of its secret, commissioner-controlled arbitration and into open federal court. This paves the way for a brutal discovery process, where NFL owners and Roger Goodell could face grueling, under-oath depositions regarding their hiring practices and alleged “sham” interviews. Florio even speculates that if the NFL eventually tries to make this headache go away with a massive settlement, it might include an aggressive buyout clause demanding Flores walk away from his current defensive coordinator job and never coach in the league again.
