Judge won't budge on allowing Brian Flores suit to proceed to trial

NEW YORK -- A federal judge said Tuesday that she's not changing her decision to let NFL coach Brian Flores put the league and three of its teams on trial over his claims that he and other Black coaches face discrimination.

Judge Valerie Caproni's written ruling in Manhattan federal court came after both sides in the case asked her to reconsider her March decision.

The judge ruled then that claims by two coaches who joined the Flores lawsuit after it was filed early last year must proceed to arbitration, where NFL commission Roger Goodell will presumably serve as arbitrator.
