NHL Owner Accused of Horribly Racist Statement in New Lawsuit
BY TJ TUCKER SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 (12:31)
Trotter claims Sabres owner Terry Pegula's response to protests against racial injustice went as follows:
"If black players don't like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is there."
Trotter states he told the league about Pegula's remark, but no action was taken.
Meanwhile, Trotter also alleges Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, said if black people are upset about the lack of minorities in NFL front offices, they should buy a team and choose who to hire for it.
Trotter's suit is alleging wrongful dismissal as a writer for the NFL. The league says his contract was simply allowed to run out and they could no longer afford to keep him of staff.
Pegula has issued a statement denying these claims.
