[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It is truly amazing the lengths some people are going in this thread to deny that there is any racial discrimination in this NFL.  [/b]And those of you trying to make the discussion about gambling instead of racism are complicit in that.[/quote]

I'm not doing that, but rather commenting on the merits of the lawsuit. Two different things.
If the Rooney Rule was violated, it's Roger Goodell's job to take action - it's just a league rule. It doesn't come close to proving unlawful racial discrimination.
Now if Flores and his lawyers are firing a warning shot at the NFL owners, fine. Perhaps that's overdue.  But I don't see that hiring Daboll over Flores comes close to proving racial discrimination.  [/quote]

If the only reason the Giants invited Flores to interview was because he is a racial minority and not because they had any intention of seriously considering him for the job, that is absolutely racial discrimination.[/quote]

well, we're going to have to disagree here. It is a violation of a league rule.  And why? Because they wanted Daboll instead of Flores. Is that racial discrimination?[/quote]
