Oh wow, Brian Flores suing the NFL and NY Giants, alleging racism in hiring. Includes private texts from Bill Belichick https://t.co/4FVAlelLQU

But I was told that Jon Gruden was the only racist in the NFL. Weird
The texts are like something you see in a comedy. BB basically gives congrats on the new job to Brian Flores thinking he is texting Brian Daboll. Flores at first is excited but bewildered. Ultimately BB has to say look I effed this up they are hiring someone else. Flores is just like thanks coach.
That said let's not lob accusations of bad faith. Could it be that the Giants were impressed completely with Daboll and leaning that way but yet to make up their mind? Would it be a violation to hire Daboll? There is no requirement to hire a minority coach just to interview which they did, correct? I mean it's almost like you would need a text from the Giants that says we the NY Giants feel Flores is the best candidate but we are not hiring him due to race. Anything short of that it would be hard to demonstrate the Giants are engaged in hiring discrimination. That said I don't feel the Giants should have fired Judge or hired Daboll and the Phins certainly shouldn't have fired Flores imo. Flores would be a better fit for NY they have won with defensive coaches in the past.
