Roger Goodell

Attorney General James Uthmeier told the NFL its guidelines to improve diversity hiring in leadership positions are discriminatory and ordered the league to stop using it.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the changing political landscape for diversity initiatives in the U.S., but added that he didn’t believe there should be any legal issues with the league’s policy.

Attorney General James Uthmeier claims the policy encourages teams to hire nonwhite coaches, which would violate the state's employment laws banning discrimination.

"I know of no prior instance of a team violating the prohibition on tampering with both a head coach and star player" over several years, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL, accusing the league and its commissioner of trying to destroy his career using a "malicious and orchestrated campaign."
