I'm starting to lose my interest in siding with Flores. With everything that's coming out, it's starting to look like he's just being bitter. I understand that racism exists, probably even where I think it does not. But I'm tired of the race card being played everytime a minority gets passed over. You go into an interview process with your 1 (minority) or two, vs. the 6 white candidates and it's an odds game. You're a victim of numbers mostly. I don't feel like any team would pass on a minority if they were the best candidate, but maybe I'm naïve.
To side on way or the other without the facts is a guessing game, may as well flip a coin. Pretty fruitless. The man made serious accusations. Let's get to the bottom and side with the evidence. Just trust me it's a conflict of interest if the NFL investigates. Let it be a fair and impartial 3rd party doing the investigating.
I do agree that it'll be a conflict of interest if the NFL investigates. But what investigating body do you think investigate? I say the FBI. Because the owners will never cooperate with any other.
A simple judge or jury should suffice. Otherwise an independent prosecutor agreed upon by both parties. Any NFL investigation I will not trust the results they've botched enough of those already.
I don't necessarily disagree with a judge and jury. The FBI has police power that the owners have to respect. A full FBI investigation in the hands of a judge and jury would be great. But a judge and jury alone would turn into a circus, and result in the status quo. So IMHO, an FBI investigation would be the better option.
In any event, the NFL cannot be allowed to investigate themselves on this. Now, Hue Jackson is coming out and said he also was offered incentives to tank, and he says he has documentation. If he does then the NFL cannot be anywhere near close to investigating this. This needs an FBI investigation and congressional hearings.
