The Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as everybody else, were amply aware of the fact that he was suing the NFL and a handful of its constituent teams when they hired Brian Flores to their coaching staff earlier this offseason. It was a major headline when he filed the suit on February 1, the first day of Black History Month, charging that the league fostered or enabled racist and discriminatory hiring practices.
Yet he’s not seen fit to discuss the nature of his lawsuit once while functioning as a member of the Steelers’ coaching staff in the handful of times that he has spoken to NFL reporters since his hiring, including his appearance at minicamp yesterday.
