This guy has been after the NFL and Goodell for years. Not saying it's not true....but let's not rush to judgement.

Right, need to see what Terry says about this. Because there's no context that makes this acceptable, unless he's quoting someone else and making a point about how terrible that statement is. 

 

IT has to be a flat out denial. 

 

You can not be an owner of a team where 80% of the playing employees are African, and have those racist sentiments in your soul

Just from what I publicly know about Terry Pegula over the past 12 or so years... I cannot picture him saying something like that.  I remember him even putting out a statement going against Donald trump and getting behind Lesean McCoy.  The Bills allowed the players to do as they wanted during that whole thing.  

 

Maybe below the surface he could be slightly prejudiced.  Most white men that age seem to be susceptible to that (boomers)

Yeah, this is kind of where I am at too. Honestly, those comments allegedly from him and Jerry sound like just about every out of touch boomer says, and believe me, they don't think they are being ignorant/racist.

 

I am going to wait for this to play out, but if true, it is so surprising because of a lot of the things you mentioned.

Why are you so sure he said it?

1. Frankly I don't believe it fully; Trotter is literally filing a lawsuit over Affirmative Action hiring which in itself is a idiotic situation to begin with.

 

2. Depending on the actual question this racial statement may not exactly be "bad" For all we know Trotter asked him about players backing the BLM riots that burned and looted towns. In that case this supposed statement is far less wrong.

 

3. The Pegulas have been very open and willing to hire, sign and acquire black players and staff as well as support community efforts in the region in regards to minorities. So the statement itself seems very out of character and/or at most an answer that comes from endless badgering or biased reporting.

I’ll await for the quote to be substantiated by something other than hearsay. It just doesn’t make sense for something so grotesque to come out of Terrys mouth. He’s been a proponent of diversity from what I’ve gathered and witnessed so far. So I’ll wait for something other than a disgruntled employee’s accounting before I even remotely get concerned about this.

Generally when someone goes on legal record of saying something with a direct quote, it increases the odds of them saying it, or you risk perjury

He's stayed quiet, which is fine with me. Racial Justice isn't a Billionaire's debate. His family life also suggests to me that this isn't straight forward, and there's a chance Trotter is straight up lying
