Roger Goodell addresses alleged NFL hiring discrimination at annual news conference
CNN
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday said the league has fallen short "by a long shot" in ensuring head coaching opportunities for Black and minority candidates.
"I don't think you take anything off the table until you have people look at that, help us independently say, Is there something flawed with our process? And if there is, what can we do to resolve that and fix that?" he said.
Goodell's remarks, during the "State of the League" address leading up to the Super Bowl, follow a federal class-action lawsuit filed last week by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores -- who accuses the league, along with three NFL franchises, of alleged racial discrimination.
