As Brian Flores’s lawsuit against the NFL and several teams alleging racial discrimination in hiring practices roils the league, a few members of his Patriots family are sticking up for him.
Patriots safety Devin McCourty and former New England/current New York Giants offensive guard Nate Solder both tweeted out their support for Flores, who claimed he has been “humiliated” by several teams using him as a token “Rooney Rule” candidate during multiple head-coaching interview cycles.
“Flo has always been a special individual…has been pivotal in my career and love that I can support him for calling out what we all already know,” wrote McCourty on Tuesday after the news of the coach’s lawsuit broke.
