NFL Brian Flores Suing NFL for Discrimination

This is a league rule not a law - I feel like it is apples to oranges.

I disagree. When you buy a team you agree to follow their rules. Just like living in the country you agree to follow their rules. I was just wondering if the guy only agree with breaking rules he didn't like or if he was a full on anarchist.

Hoodie absolutely, 100 %, positively, no doubt about it, sent that text to Flores on purpose.

Homeboy knew EXACTLY wtf he was doing.

I'm convinced of it.

Flo might as well throw the Patriots in the lawsuit while he's at it. Worth a shot. Be like "they had me calling plays as a LB coach, meanwhile his homeboys got that DC promotion and tag with the bump in salary off the rip."

To be fair, his lawsuit isn't only about racism and discrimination. It's also about workplace malpractice. Social media is just working the discrimination and racism angle because of today being the first day of Black History Month. And the BB text messages to Flores certainly falls under the category of discrimination.

You are speaking to the majority that are unaffected by this. Words don't matter when they don't care that it exists.

Huge difference between a NFL rule and a law.

When you buy a team in the league you agree to follow their rules. Just like being in the country makes you follow their rules. If you don't want to follow the rules don't buy the team.

Again, do you think all "rules" should be ignored or only the ones you disagree with?

No, hence why Flores mentioned the Broncos situation in the lawsuit as well.

It would be less racist to, I dont know, just perform a regular interview. Its not that hard.

It's what you do when you have no expectation to hire a candidate. They already knew who they were and weren't hiring.

How is that evidence of discrimination? Even if true, it’s not even evidence that Daboll was hired over him due to race, just that ny possibly had their mind made up and were going through the motions of the Rooney rule, unless they already interviewed other minorities. And How does bb represent the ny franchise in any way? I’m sure bb doesn’t have inside knowledge of other teams hiring practices. If he did, that would be the most surprising thing

Brian Flores went 19-14 in 2020 and 2021 after he had to rebuild a Dolphin team that looked like they would finish 0-16 in 2019 early on.

Thats not failure. At all.

The glaring issue with black coaches in the NFL is not even so much the not getting hired, but the one and done approach they have

It’s ****ed up when you see the same retread coaches getting picked up so they can go 6-10 for 3 years over and over again

I guess my entire thing here is that when doing the “right thing” seems to often pull us further from getting answers…then what the **** do you do? That’s the frustrating part for me anyway

It’s disgusting really

This is false, the study I cited was based on brain examination.

Of players whose families consented to the autopsy because they suspected mental problems. It's not a representative sample because there would be an overrepresentation of people with issues.

*Disclaimer: I'm not saying CTE doesn't exist, I'm saying 110 out of 111 is way too high. Roger Goodell is a POS regardless of that.

Does not matter in this case. Just perform a regular interview with the same **** structure, its not rocket science. Theres free tutorials on the ******* internet for this.

Rooney Rule is f#cking insulting. If you want to force the owners to act less racist (you can't force anyone to actually BE less racist) , then the NFL Commish can set a quota and say that at least 10 NFL teams must have minority coaches. If the season starts with less than 10 minority coaches, then all the teams without minority coaches have to pay a massive penalty that gets distributed to the teams that have minority coaches. Now owners have an actual financial incentive to hire a minority HC instead of doing token interviews.
