Ex-Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores accused several organizations of racial discrimination during the head coach hiring process while also stating that he was allegedly offered money by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross in an effort to persuade him to lose games on purpose. These shocking allegations drew a firm response from Miami, who effectively denied them while attempting to make Flores look bad. Now, Flores is accusing the Dolphins of some eye-opening actions in the ensuing legal battle, as reported by Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network.

The statement is from Wigdor Law, the attorneys representing Brian Flores. They are accusing the Dolphins and their attorneys of basically forcing the lawsuit into a “secret arbitration” process, which Flores' attorneys say will lack transparency. The ex-Dolphins head coach then threw NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's name into the mix, challenging him to make a choice on how this legal process will play out.
These are shocking allegations from Flores, who is basically saying that the Dolphins are trying to sweep his lawsuit under the rug. The current Pittsburgh Steelers assistant has consistently told Goodell and the NFL that he has clear evidence of the Dolphins paying him to tank on purpose, which could be part of the reason why the franchise isn't allowing the arbitration process to play out smoothly.
It's not clear whether the Dolphins or Flores will ultimately be proven right in the end. However, the result of the lawsuit has the potential to send even more shockwaves through the NFL than it already has.
