Stephen Miller's America First Legal group has filed a complaint against the NFL just days before the Super Bowl, challenging the legality of the "Rooney Rule" aimed at increasing diversity in coaching and management positions. Miller's group claims the rule results in fewer opportunities for non-minority candidates, but critics argue that the rule has been successful in promoting diversity in the NFL. This move is seen as a fundraising ploy and has sparked controversy amid the Super Bowl week.
