Former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the Dolphins, Giants and Broncos on Tuesday that alleged racist hiring practices among several NFL teams.
After the lawsuit was made public, Flores told NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe that he felt this step was necessary.
“It was time to stop being quiet about the injustices that are happening,” Flores said. “This was long overdue. There’s plenty of racism that need to be exposed.”
Flores, who was recently fired by Miami after going 24–25 in three seasons, alleged in the lawsuit that he participated in a “sham” interview for the head coaching jobs with the Giants as the franchise attempted to comply with the league’s Rooney Rule.
