Jim Trotter, a prominent Black sports journalist, has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the National Football League (NFL) and NFL Media. Trotter alleges that his contract was not renewed because he publicly questioned Commissioner Roger Goodell about the league’s commitment to diversity. Trotter has released a statement explaining his motivations for filing the lawsuit, stating that he hopes it leads to real change across the league and in the newsroom. The NFL has not responded to the allegations but claimed that the decision not to renew Trotter’s contract was due to budget constraints. The lawsuit names various NFL representatives and seeks unspecified damages.
