Say What Now?

They put out a statement saying they will defend against claims that they assert are without merit without investigation. Flores is going to get hosed here.

This Brian Flores lawsuit is a BOMBSHELL. He alleges:

- Miami owner Stephen Ross offered to pay him $100,000 for each loss
 - Ross pressured him to tamper
 - texts from Bill Belichick show that the Giants already had their coach picked before they even interviewed him.

I love football. I really do. But, man this shit Ross did, if true, they need to Sterling him asap...

This Brian Flores lawsuit against the #NFL is going to resonate throughout sports and be a significant moment in the history of the league. I’ve spoken to two other coaches who believe they have the receipts to be a part of the class. This could be a tsunami before it’s all over.

Ross is a piece of work.

And I'm sure a big segment of this board just takes the word of Flores as gospel.  lol   I'm guessing like everything else there a set of facts for Ross, a set of facts for Flores, and the truth which lies somewhere in between.  Not holding my breath on this one either way.

Just asking,  what did Ross do wrong that indy didn't do when they sucked for luck?  Or other teams that have shut down stars at them end of pointless campaigns?

Saying you never want to work in the NFL again without saying it.

Ok maybe but if you got fired after having a good season from a team, and in the past the owner had all but told you to lose, and in the present you found out the big interview you're prepping for is for a job that's already been given to someone else... most people would have an axe to grind. If what he's saying is true and he can prove it, this will be league-changing.

Not saying anything about the veracity of his allegations.  Just that, a coach can cheat, pay bounties, mistreat players, GMs can run porn rings, tamper, skirt the rules, but I doubt there is room in the club for anyone that pulls back the curtain.

Good point and yep, I agree. And depending what he can prove then maybe he won't need to. I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan made more money suing Gawker for leaking his sex tape than he did in about 30 years of wrestling. If Flores has receipts he's about to get paid. Plenty of college programs that would welcome him if he still has the itch to coach.

I feel like there is going to be a settlement of some kind and the league is not going to admit wrongdoing but give the performative theater as evidenced in the statement. The statement talks about diversity being at the core of everything they do. Is it really? The good old boys club is going to continue the PR push for the image and to protect the shield.
