Arbitration on the Sidelines: What Flores v. NFL Means for Sports Employment Law

This webinar will examine Brian Flores's employment discrimination claim against the NFL, focusing on the Second Circuit's rejection of the NFL's arbitration process and the Supreme Court's denial of cert. Panelists will discuss how this ruling compares to prior NFL arbitration disputes, including the Brady/Deflategate case, where the Flores case currently stands on the merits, and what the ruling may mean for arbitration clauses in sports and employment more broadly.
