According to suit brought by Jim Trotter, Jerry Jones and Tery Pegula (r.) made racist comments about multiple issues.
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.
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.

Highly doubt this is going to turn into a “bombshell”. Man, everything’s “breaking” or a “bombshell” these days.
I stopped watching football and basketball long ago because of the showboating, and baseball is almost as bad now too, it is also creeping into hockey. Whatever happened to players scoring a touchdown and just flipping the ball to the ref, then running back to the sidelines? The NFL is filled with players that have a child’s mind in an adult body. Players like Dick Butkus and Conrad Dobler would have never put up with the shenanigans that take place now.
I’ve been to Africa. I highly doubt more than a handful of these privileged millionaires have been there. They should try it.....or are they being racist?

Those negroes wouldn’t be in college if not for basketball.
Putting low IQ thugs on a pedestal because they are good at sports is disgusting.
Same for their trash culture.
They should listen to Akon and go back to Africa.
I remember when Ted Striker was in The Peace Corps
