ABC News
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a letter to teams Saturday responding to Brian Flores' discrimination suit against the league.
Days after former Miami Dolphins Coach Brian Flores sued the NFL over allegations of discrimination, commissioner Roger Goodell told teams Saturday that the league's efforts to promote diversity among head coaches “have been unacceptable," ESPN reported.
Goodell sent a letter to NFL teams addressing Flores' suit and the allegations that the league and team owners have been sidelining Black candidates for coaching positions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who tweeted out the letter.
The commissioner reiterated the league's earlier messages that it "adopted numerous policies and programs," to promote diversity, but acknowledged that there is still more work to be done.
"With respect to head coaches, the results have been unacceptable," Goodell wrote in the letter.
