Report: Stephen Ross Could Lose Ownership of Dolphins in Tanking Investigation

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is reportedly in danger of losing the team if an investigation by the NFL confirms allegations by former head coach Brian Flores, who said Ross incentivized losing games.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Ross could face "severe" discipline if Flores' allegations are found to be true.

"A league source confirmed that owners could, in fact, vote a fellow owner out under the most dire circumstances based on league rules, which would require a three-fourths vote," Rapoport wrote.

As part of his lawsuit against the entire NFL alleging racist and discriminatory hiring practices, Flores stated that Ross offered him $100,000 for every loss during the 2019 season.
