Court unseals memo related to Brian Flores's discrimination claims
Summary

A court has unsealed a memo from Korn Ferry regarding Brian Flores’s candidacy during the Las Vegas Raiders' head coaching search. Flores, who is suing the NFL for racial discrimination, claims the memo supports his allegations. It includes both positive points about him and several negative stereotypes, which his lawyers argue illustrate systemic racism in NFL hiring practices. The memo had been sealed until its recent release. The next legal milestone includes a judge's ruling on motions to dismiss filed by the NFL teams named in Flores's lawsuit.
