Brian Flores said he walked into an interview with the Giants last week feeling “humiliation, disbelief and anger.” Prior to his meeting, he received text messages from his former boss and mentor, Bill Belichick, accidentally indicating that the Giants’ minds were already made up and that Flores would not receive the job.
Flores, speaking on CBS in the first televised interview he did in support of a lawsuit he filed on February 1 against the NFL, the Giants, Broncos, Dolphins and “John Doe teams 1–29” alleging racist hiring practices, was called both “brave” and “bold” by host Gayle King.
