TL;DR Summary

Reporter Jim Trotter has filed a new lawsuit against the NFL, alleging a racist remark made by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones during a conversation at the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. Trotter claims that Jones dodged a question about the lack of Black decision-makers in NFL teams and suggested that Black people should "be happy for what they have" and buy their own team. Jones has denied the allegations, stating that Trotter's representation of the conversation is inaccurate. The case could become a major issue in the litigation, with both parties testifying about their recollection. This development may prompt the NFL to consider settling the case.
