MIAMI — Two months after filing the lawsuit that quaked the NFL, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has already won.
He might never actually “win” the suit alleging systemic racism in the league’s hiring practices. Ironically, the claim might be seen as weakening with every subsequent minority hire — including his own by the Pittsburgh Steelers as senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach.
But there is an echo of the suit, a victory in it with every such hire even if Flores never gets his day in court and the clear-cut verdict he wishes.
