Bills owner Pegula denies he said Black players ‘should go back to Africa’

• Allegation comes in lawsuit by journalist Jim Trotter
• Jerry Jones is also mentioned in court filing

The Buffalo Bills owner, Terry Pegula, has denied allegations that he made racist comments about his own players.

The claims are made in a lawsuit filed by Jim Trotter, a journalist who formerly worked for NFL Media. He says the league and its broadcasting arm did not renew his contract after he raised concerns about the lack of diversity among NFL executives, coaches and journalists.
