Episode 23:  Brian Flores' Lawsuit, the Rooney Rule, & Racial Discrimination in the NFL

This week I’m joined by two very special guests to help me break down Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL, NY Giants, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins, racial discrimination in the NFL, and the good, bad, and ugly of the NFL’s Rooney Rule.

Joining me to discuss are: Jim Rooney, author of  "A Different Way to Win," and son of Dan Rooney, the driving force behind (and namesake of) the Rooney Rule; and Jeremi Duru, Professor of Law at American University and one of the country's leading experts in sports law and employment discrimination.
