"Indeed, during the 2019 season, Miami’s owner, Stephen Ross, told Mr. Flores that he would pay him $100,000 for every loss"

This what i was trying to tell nikkas in the Laker thread. The games these owners play is a different type game. You would be surprised who dont wanna win so it fits their agenda

Hopefully Belicheck gives dude a job after he gets blacklisted. If this actually goes to court will be interesting to see if Belicheck serves as a witness or bytches out when it matters most
Curious how did Belicheck know who another franchise were going to hire when the interviewing process was still going on

This is long overdue. Black assistants get pimped out every year for meaningless interviews, knowing damn well they aren't a serious candidate. I'm glad the Rooney Rule exists but its implementation/enforcement is a complete farce. Everyone knew Shanahan was getting the 49ers job while he was still in the playoffs, making it impossible for them to have interviewed a black candidate with any level of sincerity, and nobody cared.

Salute to Flores, it takes some serious nerve to go up against the NFL legal team. This probably ends with a big settlement and never working in the NFL again.

Raheem Morris should get a settlement too, I know every GM in the league has him listed as "Rooney Rule" in their contacts:francis:

Damage is already being done and an already tense discussion just got a ton of gasoline dumped on it.

Regardless of what Flores does this feels like it's headed towards teams being rewarded with draft compensation for hiring minority head coaches. It's something they've already internally discussed and implemented for any GM hire. Rogers's gonna have to make that kind of move with how much of a joke the owners have made out of the Rooney Rule.

The team that hires the GM doesn't get the draft picks. The team where the candidate comes from does. You're correct though in that they should change it and make it so that the team that does the hire benefits from draft picks as well.

The Giants make it so difficult to be a fan sometimes.

The Jets have no issues hiring black coaches despite sucking.
And the Jets do it knowing their fans are gonna whine about it.

Giants fans always show their true colors whenever a Black man is anywhere near any position of power. Giants fans treat Jerry Reese like Obama on some "well he was hired. See? We're not racist," when he was hired because Ernie Accorsi blessed the hire and Giants fans couldn't go against Accorsi.

that dolphins wanting to pay to lose sounds even more like it was happening.
going back to that espn daily episode after Flores was fired. the reporter said players would literally point at folks and ask "who is this person" team mates didnt even know at times who was playing

also the dolphins reporter said "Flores was fired because he could not play politics game. Good at football but couldnt play the other game"
