Flores' lawsuit got the attention of Goodell, however, even though a league statement said Tuesday that the NFL said the suit was "without merit." Goodell said the league will examine existing policies and initiatives relating to diversity, equity and inclusion and will hire outside experts to help in the review. Current and former players and coaches will be among those asked for input.
