Today, Miami Dolphins’ owner Stephen Ross and his team were awarded the Paul Tagliabue Award for diversity. The Dolphins have been at the forefront recently in the hiring of minority leadership within their organization.
Rod Graves, the executive director of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, spoke about why the Dolphins received this award calling the Dolphins “the model franchise”.
“No question they are the model franchise for the National Football League. I think it’s clear that the organization embraces diversity based on what we believe are strong, what I call modern-day principles of success.”
The Dolphins are one of only two NFL teams that have a minority general manager.
