The NFL isn’t even officially in its offseason yet, and we’ve already had a couple of bombshells drop. With Tom Brady being reported to retire, then claiming that he hadn’t yet decided, then actually announcing his retirement, even that now takes a backseat to a blockbuster lawsuit just filed on behalf of former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, who says in his suit that he understands he is jeopardizing the future of his career.
Filing for class-action status against the National Football League as a whole, as well as the Dolphins, the Denver Broncos, and the New York Giants, specifically, Flores, who spent the past three seasons as Miami’s head coach before being fired last month, makes a series of allegations, ultimately making the argument that the league remains “racially segregated” in critical ways and “managed much like a plantation”.
