Not only Dr. Dre all them 70% black players need to boycott the Superbowl. That would shake up the NFL. BTW fuck punk ass John Elway.
Brian Flores files lawsuit against NFL
- Thread starter woodchuck
- Start date
Folks need to get BF's back on this!!! We all know where this is headed, a long-drawn-out legal battle that the NFL will most likely move for an undisclosed settlement. BF is going to need a landing pad after all of this is over, that cushion / pad should be coaching for an HBCU so he can eat and continue coaching!!!
There was 1 or 2 black candidates that were interviewed b4 him… I keep telling ya they gonna get hit more for the tanking games than the racism.. they already going in that direction with a few coaches saying they got receipts for the tanking games angle
Yeah I totally agree. The tanking angle goes super deep when you start looking at gambling, producing a good/quality product, and things of that nature. I know someone said on Outside the Lines how states that allowed gambling could potentially sue so the tanking part will get dealt with...
I do feel more emphasis and changes will be made to hiring practices. DEI is big in corporate America and while some strides have been made with executive leadership and the whole HBCU fellowship program, more needs to be done....KPI's and metrics need to be created to track hiring practices...
u better hope they don't hurt him so no one see those email
I just saw last night the old coach of the raiders and browns said all that's true
Rico charges should be coming. Thats criminal in nature. It seems to fit.
But they are screwed 6 ways from Sunday for hiring a white dude before all the candidates had an equal chance for consideration. It opens them up to civil litigation going back 50 years. "Class action" lawsuits include multiple injured plaintiffs. This is a position that no company wants to find itself in.

Yep. We’ve been saying this on the board since the beginning of time. As soon as a brotha is poised to turn things around, they get canned. NBA too, albeit to a lesser extent.
Man look at David Culley… he had NO business getting the production he did out of that Texans roster and QB. To pull off what he did shows what he’s capable of, but it doesn’t matter.
This is a real world scenario involving a class action lawsuit claiming discrimination. And nothing about the hookup, connections or networking for a job is a newfound reality. As it involves allegations of discriminatory practices, we gon see. Not sure where you get sidetracked about the NFL being a dictatorship forcing to hire anyone but for context - Adopted in 2003, the Rooney Rule is an NFL policy requiring every team with a head coaching vacancy to interview at least one or more diverse candidates. ... The Rooney Rule is named after the late former Pittsburgh Steelers owner and chairman of the league's diversity committee, Dan Rooney. The Giants can't say shit bc there is a Rooney Rule. And if they say well we just wanted to be compliant with the policy, that is unintentionally saying that you never had any intentions of hiring BF and the policy is enhancing discriminatory practices.In short, It's the NFL's Policy that's directing teams to provide an interview opportunity for minority candidates that it looks like is resulting in unintentional and sometimes intentional discriminatory outcomes. Unlike what you said about the NFL forcing teams to hire. I'm glad to see BF exercising his rights. Aside from the recent set of facts, I'm hoping others join and disclose everything.

Anthony Lynn had the Chargers competing in all games with a rookie QB. This was after he had already made the playoffs and then had to transition to a rookie QB. They were very competitive with him there. I was looking forward to the following season but they fired him. Made no sense.
I don’t know why these pro-whites don’t get it. They are in here begging old, rich crackas for jobs when qualifications don’t really matter to them. That is proven. The key is to be able to prove match fixing and if so, it is a wrap. That will bring in racketeering charges, wire fraud, bribery charges.
Hue Jackson also said the same about the Browns. Fools are focusing on the wrong thing
hopefully they don't get a judge like this one
he'll throw out whatever is damaging to the NFL owners case
but this is truly bigger than the NFL- football is just a plaything.
these owners own or operate major corporations:
kraft, johnson and johnson, ford...etc this could potentially alter hiring practices overall
they have to be doing the same things within there as well
The fans still watch. The players still play. Hell no they ain't boycotting shit.
Bet all your family will be sitting down at the SB party just like everyone else, just how it is
I follow the news, I am a sports addict, but fuck watching games. It's a small unimportant protest, but fuck the NFL since Kaep and that Houston owner calling the players inmates.

Lloyd: Hue Jackson’s complaints against Browns resemble his coaching career; they both fall short
This isn’t the first time Jackson has tried to conjure an audience that would listen, but this time the Browns responded.

I think Hue already messed that part up
But you right the tanking is what is crossing all color lines
Facts
I hit up a childhood friend that’s a politician and he listed the following issues with the lawsuit… what are your thoughts?
There's so many challenges with this lawsuit.
First he's trying to do a class action. He's going to need other interviewees to defend his position. Not an easy task, if those individuals are still trying to secure a position within the NFL or are still working in the NFL.
Secondly, I'm not sure if he's even filed a complaint with the EEOC. You can't sue, until the EEOC has completed an investigation.
Third is that he's trying to sue teams. These teams are located in different states. All they're going to do is request that he refiles the lawsuits in the states where he's claiming discrimination. That's going to get expensive and the employment laws in Indiana are much different than they are in a state like California.
Then fourth, he's going to have to overcome the rebuttal that I think every team is going to make; "you can't force us to hire someone". That's the position that nearly every employer takes. It's their money and they should be allowed to determine for themselves who they want to give it to in the form of employment.
This is going to be a very tough lawsuit to win.

from a lot of people right now. Black and white. 
i remember/recall when folks were coming for him (FLORES )during the BLM Kaep incidents,
Your friend is right, but here's a caveat: the NFL has a special tax arrangement with government which allows these teams to pocket 100s of millions of dollars each year, and it involves taxpayers' money. I wonder if that would change anything.

Which is why I said on day one that this is the right message but he isn't the right messenger. People tend to forget that Rosa Parks wasn't the first person to not give up a seat but she was just the one they selected to be the face of the fight.
yeah and then this season he got fired as the OC of the lions
he got blamed for that shit show of a team
YUP
doesn't Baseball have some type of monopoly exemption too
i wonder if that ever comes into a play during lawsuits?

he is kinda wrong about this...
1. BF is primarily suing the NFL (ny headquarter), then the Giants, et al...
2. This was filed in Federal Court (SDNY) - seeking class action certification
one hurdle is proving if:
separate adjudications will create a risk of decisions that are inconsistent with or dispositive of other class members’ claims
the class action certification is step one in the process...
No & neither does the NBA
