A recent lawsuit claims the National Football League has racist hiring practices, but it has also shed light on multiple other allegations that claim league owners have paid coaches to throw games.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told teams over the weekend that the league will look to improve policies meant to encourage the hiring of minorities, particularly as head coaches.
The NFL's main avenue for increasing diversity in its leadership ranks is the two-decade-old Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview minority candidates for jobs including head coach and general manager. Despite the rule, there is currently one Black head coach in the league: Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin.
Flores, who is Black, was fired as Miami's coach last month despite back-to-back winning seasons. He named the league and three teams in a class-action lawsuit this week alleging unfair hiring practices in the NFL. The Dolphins went 5-11 that year. The Cincinnati Bengals went 2-14 and used the No. 1 pick on quarterback Joe Burrow, who led the team to this season's Super Bowl.
