Dolphins owner Stephen Ross made his first public comments on the Brian Flores lawsuit on Wednesday night, calling the former coach’s claims “false, malicious and defamatory.”
“I take great personal exception to these malicious attacks, and the truth must be known,” the statement read. “His allegations are false, malicious and defamatory. We understand there are media reports stating that the NFL intends to investigate his claims, and we will cooperate fully.
“I welcome that investigation and I am eager to defend my personal integrity, and the integrity and values of the entire Miami Dolphins organization, from these baseless, unfair and disparaging claims.
