Lawyers representing NFL coaches Brian Flores, Ray Horton and Steve Wilks in their class-action lawsuit against the NFL and its teams stated in a brief filed Wednesday that sending the case to the league's arbitration process would lead to "unconscionably biased one-sided 'kangaroo courts'" to decide the matter, per the Associated Press.
The lawsuit, which Flores filed in February, alleges that the NFL and several teams engaged in racial discrimination in its hiring decisions.
As noted by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, the 25-page brief also states that the NFL's arbitration process "bear[s] no resemblance to a neutral judicial forum and fail[s] to comport with basic principles of fairness.
