Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores sues NFL, alleges racism in hiring practices
In a lengthy lawsuit, Brian Flores has filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL and three teams — the Dolphins, the Broncos and the Giants — alleging they have engaged in racist and discriminatory practices against Black coaches. Allegations in the suit include Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offering to pay Flores an extra $100,000 per loss during the 2019 season, and Ross trying to get him to recruit “a prominent quarterback” who was under contract to another team, violating tampering rules. The lawsuit also says the Giants scheduled a fake interview with Flores last week to comply with the Rooney Rule, and that Flores learned that his interview was fake because his former boss, Patriots coach Bill Belichick, mistakenly texted him a congratulatory message, thinking that the Giants were going to hire him. New York, instead, ended up hiring Brian Daboll. Flores also said the Broncos put him through a similar interview three years ago, with no intention of considering him for the job.
