Brian Flores' lawyers bash NFL, call Roger Goodell 'biased decisionmaker' in latest filing

Lawyers for three Black NFL coaches — Brian Flores, Steve Wilks and Ray Horton — alleging racial bias by the league fired their latest response at league commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday. 

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.

The shots at Goodell stem from the commissioner being named as the one to oversee and rule on the dispute through the arbitration process. The lawyers feel his decision won’t be objective.
