Subject: RE: BS: NFL is as honest as Wrestling
Tanking, losing games to gain a higher position in the draft, has been going on in the NFL for a long time but we've never had a coach come out and say he was offered money by an owner to do so before. There were other reasons for Flores dismissal as well, he refused to get behind Tua as the starting QB and was an advocate for acquiring the services of Deshaun Watson. Those issues are far less important than the unfair hiring practices of NFL teams as regards minority coaches and this class action suit that Flores has filed will hopefully help to end unfair hiring practises for minorities across all industries. It took a lot of courage for Flores to take this stand as it may end his promising coaching career, at least in the NFL, but he seems to be more concerned with racial equality.
