The accusation about being offered bribes for throwing games is out of left field.

But how is is racist?

So, the state taxpayer and students pick up the difference!

Wait until they have to start paying players!
The financial pressure these programs will skyrocket.
Soon ‘creative lawyering’ will force the colleges\universities to pay all participate in all varsity sports!
It won’t stop there; graduate students will demand nonfeudal academic serf wages. More ‘creative lawyering will see that the get it!
The sky’s the limit of financial pressure for public colleges\universities! Don’t you know taxpayers have infinite resources.

Truth in advertising I love sports! Played two ‘club sports’ in college rugby & martial arts.

I was somewhat surprised by his firing after the Dolphins finished above .500 this season. They didn’t make the playoffs but they finished strong after a horrendous start. He must have gotten along poorly with the owner, whom he is now suing.

The black population is 13.2% in the US. Make it a rule that 13.2% of all coaches and players in the NFL are black! 13.2% and not more or less than that number. Wouldn’t that be true equality and equity?

Blacks are likely 70% of players. Really surprised there aren’t more black coaches

ha ha ha ha ha...the NFL is getting 100+% of what it DESERVES for being so eager to suck up to the WOKE.

I hope the whole league crumbles.

The funniest part of all this is the Bill Belichick seemingly was texting congrats to the wrong Brian (he was texting the black guy while thinking he was texting the white guy - they both coached under him). LMFAO!

My corporation does the same stupid crap where it has to interview a certain number of applicants, when they know ahead of time who’s getting the job. Infuriating.

...in 40+ years, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people and dozens for executive type positions. I ALWAYS interviewed in person and on executive types I usually interviewed 2-3 times before making a decision. For a CPA/lawyer one time, I interviewed a dozen people, some multiple times.

Flores is ate up with racism and has shot himself in the foot.

The NFL is a despicable, unpatriotic organization GENERALLY. On that Flores and I agree.

Pretty stupid IMHO.

A lot of people supported him to remain with the Dolphins, as his team won 8 of 9 games to end the season.

Now he’s viewed as a malcontent. he won’t get hired again

I heard that he told his own QB that he should have replaced in the last draft. One of the two had to go after that.

“ there is precedent of forcing owners out, Dan Snyder the Redskins Owner was basically forced to sell.”

Snyder is still the current owner 🤪

They forced him to remove the redskins name

my thoughts exactly. From everything I saw, Miami is unlikely to be better off with the replacement. He was doing a great job. With this, the guy has major red flags.

Maybe some glimpse into what was going on inside the Dolphin offices that led to the decision?

Why does a black player need a black coach? I’ll bet 60% of coaches in the NFL are black and of all head coaches, I’ll bet more than 13% are black. I just don’t see a problem

35% of NFL assistant coaches are “black” FWIW.

I wasn’t saying that. Just with the sheer number of black players, I’m surprised there aren’t more

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.

One more than you have.

Hard to say.
Cleveland and KC have lesbo chicks as coaches and I’m pretty sure there are no lesbo chicks playing in the NFL currently.

He wants the money from the lawsuit.

He doesn’t want to coach again, because there’s a good chance now that he won’t.

I don’t think many owners are going to go after kryptonite.

I-D-I-O-T
