The lawyers filed the papers, in which they complained that having arbitration settle their dispute is wrong, in Manhattan federal court.

They believe a jury needs to decide the outcome of the lawsuit that Flores, who was fired by the Miami Dolphins, filed in February.

Wilks and Horton later joined it as plaintiffs.  "While the Supreme Court has approved arbitration for resolution of statutory disputes, it has not licensed employers to create unconscionably biased one-sided "kangaroo courts" that bear no resemblance to a neutral judicial forum and fail to comport with basic principles of fairness," the preliminary statement read from the lawyers, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.
