Uh oh NFL. Bill's Owner Pegula and Jerry Jones quotes on race

𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: Former NFL media member Jim Trotter alleged that #Bills Owner Terry Pegula said: “if the black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it it.” in reference to player protests, via
@jjones9


Also says Jerry Jones said “If blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who they want to hire

These are bombshell allegations that Pegula and the NFL is denying however.

I don’t think the NFL has actually won a lawsuit in 30+ years.
