Brian Flores, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, has spent the last couple of weeks interviewing for head coaching positions with multiple teams. As the search has gone on, Flores felt that there were some issues with the process that led him to file a lawsuit against the NFL and multiple teams on Tuesday.
On an episode of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” Tony Kornheiser asked Michael Wilbon his reaction to the Flores situation, and Wilbon compared it to another alleged issue of racial injustice that the league saw just a few years ago.
“It was straight to Colin Kaepernick,” Flores said. “It was straight to Brian Flores, God bless him for doing this, this takes courage. This takes sacrifice. Flores is not some dummy. He knows that if he goes up against the NFL, legally with a class action suit, we’ve seen how evil the NFL can be. This basically takes him out of play for being an NFL coach like it took Colin Kaepernick out of play for being an NFL quarterback.”
