00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:01.880
<v 0>Former Miami dolphins, head coach,</v>

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:05.280
Brian Flores has filed a class action lawsuit against the NFL,

3
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:06.680
the Miami dolphins,

4
00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:10.760
the New York giants alleging ongoing discriminatory hiring practices.

5
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:13.360
Now this isn't anything new if you are a coach of color,

6
00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:17.120
but Brian Flores is the first one to pull back the curtain on it and really say

7
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.880
it. He believes based on knowledge,

8
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:24.390
he gain from conversations with text message conversations with bill Beek,

9
00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:28.910
that his interview with the New York giants was a sham interview

10
00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:34.110
because he learned that they already planned to hire Brian Day ball from Buffalo

11
00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:36.950
before they even conducted their interview with him.

12
00:00:37.410 --> 00:00:41.260
He learned this because of text messages with bill Beek who revealed the

13
00:00:41.260 --> 00:00:42.140
information to him.

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.220
And he felt like he had already been through a similar type of situation three

15
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:50.980
years ago in Denver. He also is, uh,

16
00:00:50.980 --> 00:00:54.380
pulling back the curtain on Steven Ross, the owner of the Miami dolphins,

17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.300
who he says, uh,

18
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:00.060
wanted to pay him a hundred thousand dollars per loss,

19
00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:05.410
wanting him to couple years ago to make sure they got the first overall pick

20
00:01:05.410 --> 00:01:09.050
of the draft, which obviously Brian Flores did not.

21
00:01:09.050 --> 00:01:12.370
They won five games and they wound up getting the fifth pick of the draft. Uh,

22
00:01:12.470 --> 00:01:16.810
but he has said that, look, this is something that's been going on.

23
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:21.330
He's been blessed to coach, but he felt like he needed to pull back the curtain,

24
00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:25.760
blow the whistle. So on the NFL and, uh, the giants and all of its teams,

25
00:01:25.830 --> 00:01:30.560
because for years the Mo the Rooney rule was supposed to cause, um,

26
00:01:30.710 --> 00:01:34.520
improvement. And instead it's just a sham, a mockery of a,

27
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:37.440
of a procedure that NFL teams don't take seriously.
