[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the NFL has stepped in it now.  After issuing a statement categorically denying Flores’ allegations that Ross offered him $100k per loss to rank the season, it’s own network is reporting a witness has come forward who overheard Ross making the offer to Flores.  And Flores’ legal team is saying they have evidence to corroborate it, including messages from the Dolphins’ GM.

Well. if you read that article, Flores says he refused to go along with the plan "and that was the reason I was let go."
So he just gave a completely non-racial explanation for why he was let go.  
I don't see how this allegation helps his racial discrimination case at all, and in fact, if true, it shows he was fired for completely non-racial reasons. 
It will be a major embarrassment to Ross however, and maybe the is the whole point.  Revenge.[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Tanking a season like Ross asked Flores to do would have destroyed Flores’ career.  When you consider it from that perspective, $100k per game was a pittance.  [b]Would he have asked a white coach tod on the same, [/b]or did he only think a black coach would be such a fool as to take that deal? Did he take Floes serious as a head coach, or was Flores a patsy to get a couple years of good draft picks and then was going to fired in favor of a “real” head coach?

Unless you are Stephen Ross or someone very close to him, you do not know the answer to that any more than I do so don’t bother trying to pretend you do. But if there are written records (texts, emails, etc.) or anyone who is will to speak up and admit they had discussions with Ross about this stuff, it could get ugly.[/quote]

It is a good question, and I think the answer is Yes, he would have in that same situation.  But that is speculation, since we will never know. [/quote]
