Brian Flores Goes For The NFL's Neck!

He ain't playing their game.

A Black coach sues the NFL for a breach of contract and racism. 

There is one Black NFL coach. The coach is Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then there was Brian Flores, the former coach of the Miami Dolphins.

He is filing a federal lawsuit against the league.

Brian Francisco Flores (born 1981) is a Honduran-American coach in the National Football League (NFL). He began his NFL career with the New England Patriots, where he served as an assistant coach from 2008 to 2018. Flores was New England's defensive play caller during his final season coaching for the team, which concluded with a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIII. Following the Super Bowl victory, he served as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2019 to 2021.

Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, Dolphins, Broncos, and Giants organizations, alleging racial discrimination.

The suit claims that text messages he received from New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, as well as media reports, show that the New York Giants decided to hire Brian Daboll as head coach before interviewing any minority candidates. 

Despite knowing the Giants would eventually hire Daboll, Flores prepared for and attended his interview with the team partly out of hope the Giants would give him fair consideration, he told ESPN.

The Giants, who scheduled an interview with Flores for January 27, had allegedly decided on Daboll by January 23. Flores also alleges that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross pressured him to tank (deliberately lose games), offering him $100,000 for each game he lost in order for the Dolphins to get better draft picks for the following season, and to tamper with a quarterback before free agency. 

When he refused to tank, achieving two consecutive winning seasons, and refused to tamper, Ross fired him and lied about why.

The Palm Beach Post reported that the quarterback was Tom Brady. 

Flores also accused John Elway and Broncos management of conducting another sham head coach interview with him in 2019, arriving an hour late and appearing hungover after drinking heavily the night before.
