NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell faced reporters a week after former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores accused the league, the Dolphins and two other teams of racial discrimination.
, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, made the allegations in a proposed class-action lawsuit following what he said was a"sham" interview for the New York Giants head coaching position., the commissioner didn't directly address Flores' lawsuit, saying it would"go through the legal process."
In Flores' lawsuit against the NFL, Dolphins, Giants and Denver Broncos, the former coach alleges the Giants had already decided who would be its next head coach before interviewing Flores. On"CBS Mornings" last week, Flores cited congratulatory text messages he received from New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick prior to his interview with the Giants. Flores said the texts seemed to be intended for Brian Daboll, whom the Giants ultimately hired.
In the immediate aftermath of Flores' lawsuit being filed, the NFL said the claims were"without merit." The Giants said Flores was in contention for the coaching job"until the eleventh hour."
