The sports landscape was blindsided by a class action lawsuit on Tuesday filed by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores against multiple NFL teams claiming racism as well as disfunction that cost him his job.
After the coach and the NFL made their statements, the Dolphins released one of their own to combat Flores’ claims.
“We are aware of the lawsuit through the media reports that came out this afternoon. We vehemently deny any allegations of racial discrimination and are proud of the diversity and inclusion throughout our organization. The implication that we acted in a manner inconsistent with the integrity of the game is incorrect. We will be withholding further comment on the lawsuit at this time.”
