Two More Plaintiffs Join the Brian Flores Lawsuit
On February 1, former Dolphins coach Brian Flores sent the NFL reeling with an unprecedented lawsuit alleging racial bias in the hiring, compensation, and retention of Black head coaches. On April 8, two more coaches will give even more fuel to the landmark litigation.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, two more plaintiffs will officially join the Flores lawsuit when Flores filed an amended complaint on April 8. The identities of the plaintiffs are not yet known (at least not by us).
The plaintiffs will alleging discriminatory bias in their failure to be hired for head-coaching jobs. The claims will include allegations aimed directly at the owners of the teams to be joined as defendants to the lawsuit. The two teams in question aren’t currently named as defendants by Flores, who has since become an assistant coach with the Steelers.
