Brian Flores lawsuit

The Brian Lawsuit against the NFL and three franchises is going to be huge. He threw his future coaching career away, but he will make a mark on history.

I had to read up on this. I'm not particularly tuned into the NFL, but living in Pittsburgh it is fairly hard to escape at times. I am sure to hear a bunch of opinions on the matter, likely pretty racist ones.
If the suit goes through and Flores wins, watch out! The problematic part is that accidental text messages don't happen in every case, sham interviews don't occur in most cases, and you have to wonder how many teams fuck their season for draft picks benefits for the following year. Imagine getting offered extra money to run the team into the ground, then getting fired for winning too often. I'd love to see his job description, that alone will probably make Flores' case.
This is why American sports need relegation leagues. You drop down, you rebuild, and you move back up once you are winning again. If you get relegated, you lose a lot of your viewership so it is well incentivized to remain competitive. Of course that solves none of the race issues in the NFL.

You will probably hear some racist talk around town, but the Steelers are owned by the Rooney family, who have the only black coach in the league, at least at this moment. But there are still quite a few coaching vacancies, and I don't think even those old billionaire white men owners will have the balls to fill all those positions with white men, but IDK.
I have no clue how the NFL is going to address Flores' allegation that the owner of the Dolphins offered him $100,000 dollars per game to throw games in 2019.

It just popped into my head. The Pittsburgh Penguins won a couple Stanley Cups by losing on purpose so they could draft Mario Lemieux with the first pick.

Do you think they told Coach Tomlin it*s you or Roethlisberger who goes?

I don't think so. Big Ben earned the right to play another season after his prime was clearly over because of his accomplishments in Pittsburgh. He helped them to get into the playoffs after the team looked bad earlier. This prevented Mike Tomlin from having his first losing season ever as head coach. Tomlin has great credentials and he is in the upper tier of head coaches. I doubt any such ultimatum was given.

I have 0 understanding, but thank you for priming me for some race based angst based on your complete ignorance of the subject .
