Supreme Court declines to accept NFL's appeal in Brian Flores case
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the NFL's appeal regarding the Brian Flores case. This decision reinforces the ruling that the NFL's arbitration process is not enforceable due to the commissioner's control over it. As a result, there is now a clearer path for employees to bypass mandatory arbitration clauses in lawsuits against the NFL.
- ▪The Supreme Court denied the NFL's petition for appeal in the Brian Flores case.
- ▪The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit previously found the NFL's arbitration agreement unenforceable.
- ▪This ruling allows employees to sue the NFL in federal court in New York, avoiding mandatory arbitration.
