Browns Respond to Hue Jackson’s Accusations of Losing Games On Purpose

Former Browns coach Hue Jackson and his foundation alleged on Tuesday that the franchise paid him to lose games during the 2016 and '17 seasons.

The franchise responded, per Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, saying the allegations “are completely fabricated. Any accusation that any member of our organization was incentivized to deliberately lose games is categorically false.”

Brian Flores dropped a metaphorical hammer on the NFL on the first day of Black History Month as he sued the league, three franchises and unidentified individuals, alleging racism in hiring practices. The complaint was filed in Manhattan federal court Tuesday, seeking class-action status.
