I think the NFL should show their remorse by airing anti-racism commercials, putting anti-racism slogans on helmets, and putting big messages against racism in end zones. I think that will satisfy their critics.

The 100k per loss incentive to take a dive interests me more than the racial complaint.

the Giants interviewed Flores simply to satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule mandate requiring that teams interview minority candidates

What did they think would happen?

Nothing in that article comes across as racist other than the fact they require an interview of black candidates, which is flagrantly racist.

Otherwise The 100k per game to dive to increase their draft position is the more interesting story here.

Oh they interviewed me even though they already had a candidate they wanted… that’s not racists happens all the time in every profession for all kinds of reasons. What’s racist is requiring them to check a box that they interview a candidate purely based on their skin color.

I heard that he actually told his own starting QB that he should have replaced him with a first round pick in the last draft. One of the two had to go after that.

“The suit alleges that the Giants interviewed Flores simply to satisfy the NFL’s Rooney Rule mandate requiring that teams interview minority candidates.”

If it’s good enough for the Supreme Court, it’s good enough for the NFL.

The NFL Administrators are marinated in WOKEness.

They’ll grab their ankles very quickly, and Mr. Flores will be appeased.

OK -- so what?

Why would anyone think an NFL team would follow a stupid rule like this meticulously?

Maybe promote some kneeling when the National Anthem is played? Use only rap music for half-time shows?

Hold my beer (black man speaketh)...

Awww, the Rooney Rule... the most openly racist policy the NFL has ever laid down. You must INTERVIEW a minority even though you DAMN WELL know you are not gonna hire them. You see, you black coached shouldn’t even go to the interviews - knowing its a waste of time.

Um, Black Coaches, the NFL hires on MERIT. If you don’t get the job, its because, and ONLY because its been decided that you’re NOT GOOD ENOUGH. And suing won’t make people hire you. Its the kind of crap teams don’t want or need in the locker rooms and front offices.

If you want to file a lawsuit, sue to get rid of the Rooney Rule. That way, you can get treated as equals, not minorities.

Ya know, just like the players are now.

just me $0.02

jimjohn - OUT.

Flores is being niggardly in his selection of suit targets...
He forgot to include Trump...

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?

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.

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.

...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

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
