Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Wednesday the Dolphins are "trying to push" the allegations he levied in a lawsuit against them "into secret arbitration proceedings that lack transparency."
Flores also questioned whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will "allow this case and future race discrimination claims to play out in a transparent and public legal process":
The 41-year-old, who has since joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach, filed suit against the NFL and named three teams as defendants. He asserted the league "remains rife with racism, particularly when it comes to the hiring and retention of Black head coaches, coordinators and general managers.
