The lawsuit, filed on the first day of Black History Month, lists multiple defendants including the NFL, the Giants franchise, Miami Dolphins, and Denver Broncos. Last month, the Dolphins fired Flores after just three seasons.
, was in the middle of interviewing with the New York Giants last week when he learned the team was leading him on. They’d already passed him over for a white man: Brian Daboll.within the NFL, “The Giants would likely have gotten away with this most insidious form of discrimination if New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick had not mistakenly disclosed it to Mr. Flores in the below text messages.
“The NFL remains rife with racism, particularly when it comes to the hiring and retention of Black Head Coaches, Coordinators and General Managers,” Flores’ filing alleges, adding that the NFL and its 32 teams “have been given every chance to do the right thing.” “While he would spend countless hours preparing to put his best step forward,” the filing continues, “the white men across the table from him saw and heard only one thing: a formality that had to be observed in order to name Mr. Daboll the Head Coach.”
“This is reflective of an all too familiar ‘angry black man’ stigma that is often casted upon Black men who are strong in their morals and convictions while white men are coined as passionate for those very same attributes,” the complaint says. “Then, when the Dolphins started winning games, due in no small part to Mr. Flores’ coaching,” the suit adds, “Mr. Flores was told by the team’s General Manager, Chris Grier, that ‘Steve’ was ‘mad’ that Mr. Flores’ success in winning games that year was ‘compromising [the team’s] draft position.”
