Anyone who keeps up with sports, and the NFL specifically, knows the story now. Brian Flores, the former coach of the Miami Dolphins, has been going on interviews to try and get another coaching job while the Miami organization leaks as much information to reporters to paint him as a controlling, obstinate black guy. Despite showing that he can win even with a bad organization like the Dolphins, the likelihood that he was gonna waltz into another job was slim based on the NFL’s history with black coaches in general. Eventually Flores felt the same way because he is now suing the NFL in a class action lawsuit over its discriminatory hiring practices—specifically singling out Miami and owner Stephen Ross who allegedly offered him 100K to lose games his first year and wanted him to tamper with another team’s QB. There’s also an accusation of the Broncos giving him a sham interview and text messages from Bill Bellichik indicating the same with the Giants.
