Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that his race played a role in his initial firing by the football team. During an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast published Tuesday, Flores said that he was given tasks by the team that he thought wouldn’t be given to a white head coach. Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and three teams — the Dolphins, New York Giants and Denver Broncos — earlier this month alleging racial discrimination in their hiring practices. In his 58-page lawsuit, Flores also alleged that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross attempted to pay him more to purposely lose games during the 2019 season, with Ross offering him $100,000 for every loss that year.
