Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is suing the NFL over alleged racial discrimination.
Flores, who was fired as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins in January, sued the NFL and other franchises within the league for alleged racial discrimination.
Belichick informed Flores, three days before his interview with the Giants, that Daboll had already been selected for the job. "Mr. Flores had to give an extensive interview for a job that he already knew he would not get—an interview that was held for no reason other than for the Giants to demonstrate falsely to the League Commissioner Roger Goodell and the public at large that it was in compliance with the Rooney Rule," the lawsuit said.The Giants addressed the lawsuit in a statement, saying,"We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll.
Flores' lawyers, Douglas Wigdor and John Elefterakis, told ABC News in a statement:"This case seeks to level the playing field in the hope that future owners and coaches will be representative of the athletes who are playing this great game. We fully expect coaches and players of all races to support Brian as he embarks on his journey to create positive change.
