Brian Flores Sues The NFL

They really need to stick to addressing this concern. Far more relevant and easier to prove than racism.

It's more important because the NFL is in bed with (legal) gambling these days.

Let’s put it out there that if these organizations put these coaches in that position, asking them to lose games, what does that make them if they are only bringing that shut up now?

How do you think it would play if Robert Kraft asked Belichick to go 4-12 so they could draft a QB?

Anyone with an ounce of integrity would quit on the spot if they gave two shits about their career.

At worst they’re complicit if they went along with it, at best they’re stupid for giving them cause for termination based on results.

I’d be more inclined to give Dez the benefit of the doubt if there wasn’t a gallon of water where his brain should be.

I’ve got evidence of @Iamtdg asking @Sheik to tank the funneh on his posts to make iamtdg look funnier.

I do think this gets past any motion to dismiss, but I don't think this statement concedes the point.

On the contrary, if anything, it's evidence of the league's intent and determination to eliminate discrimination in its hiring practices.

 

[Genghis Khan]

White NFL coaches have been fired after winning seasons. It happens.

Marty Schottenheimer was fired after going 14-2.

White coaches also were bypassed by the Giants hiring of Daboll.

Meanwhile, Marvin Lewis spent 95 years of mediocrity in Cincinnati.

They really need to stick to addressing this concern. Far more relevant and easier to prove than racism.

But what would be his endgame if he doesn't tie it in with racism? There's little to no payoff for him on just the tanking issue.

100% truth.

$100k to toss a game?

Should’ve hired Garrett. He would’ve iced his kicker for free.

One can at least hope the owners blame Goodell for not doing enough to prevent this bad publicity and this builds up enough over time to lead to Goodells departure.

You're gonna see calls for an NBA-style lottery if the Fins thing is true.

Maybe, but NBA teams are probably the biggest culprits of tanking so a lottery system doesn't seem to solve it.

Yeah they still tank. Just that being the worst doesn't actually guarantee you the pick.

Waiting for evidence of someone offering Steven Ross $500k to lose games.

Plus there are way more good players coming out in football.

NBA teams still tank even with the lottery AND there only being 1-3 difference makers in any given draft.

In the NFL, if there's a lottery and your tanking "only" gets you the 6th pick, unless there's a generational QB at 1 overall you're still pretty happy.

Might not get that, but he was pretty heavy into the gambling thing when it started.
