The NFL is in hot water despite its desperate attempts to give lip service in support of Colin Kaepernick and America-hating liberals.

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has filed a class-action lawsuit for alleged racial discrimination.

Flores has named the Miami Dolphins, the NFL, and the New York Giants in the suit. Here are the bombshell accusations included in the lawsuit:

Flores spent three seasons as the head coach of the Dolphins and led the team to back-to-back winning years.Then he was fired at the conclusion of the 2021 NFL regular season.

According to the lawsuit, Flores refused his owner’s order to purposefully “tank” the season in order to receive the first pick in the draft.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross allegedly told Flores that he would pay him $100,000 for every loss.

Flores, however, refused to comply with these improper orders. Flores was treated with disdain and held out as someone who was noncompliant and difficult to work with, Fox News reports.

“My sincere hope is that by standing up against systematic racism in the NFL, others will join me to ensure that positive change is made for generations to come,” Flores explained.

“In making the decision to file the class action complaint today, I understand that I may be risking coaching the game that I love and that has done so much for my family and me,” he added.

Multiple statements have been released denying Flores’ accusations. This includes statements from the NFL, the Broncos, the Giants and the Dolphins.

The problems began as Flores claims that when he interviewed for the Giants head coaching position, the team had already decided to hire now-former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

Daboll was reportedly hired three days before Flores was scheduled to interview with the team.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick even texted to congratulate Flores for landing the job, but believed he was texting Daboll.

“Sorry – I f***ed this up,” Belichick allegedly wrote. “I double checked & I misread the text. I think they are naming Daboll. I’m sorry about that. BB.”

The Giants released a statement.

“We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll,” the statement read. “We interviewed an impressive and diverse group of candidates. The fact of the matter is, Brian Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour. Ultimately, we hired the individual we felt was most qualified to be our next head coach.”

The NFL released a statement regarding the class-action lawsuit.

“The NFL and our clubs are deeply committed to ensuring equitable employment practices and continue to make progress in providing equitable opportunities throughout our organizations. Diversity is core to everything we do, and there are few issues on which our clubs and our internal leadership team spend more time. We will defend against these claims, which are without merit.”

Flores also alleges that prior to getting the Dolphins head coaching gig, he previously interviewed with the Denver Broncos, and claims that then-general manager John Elway showed up to the interview an hour late and appeared to be hungover. Flores claims that he was interviewed for that job because of the Rooney Rule, which is an NFL policy that requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching positions. Flores believes he was never a real candidate for the job.

The Broncos put out a statement regarding the accusations against them.

“The allegations from Brian Flores directed toward the Denver Broncos in today’s court filing are blatantly false,” the team said. “Our interview with Mr. Flores regarding our head coaching position began promptly at the scheduled time of 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 5, 2019, in a Providence, R.I., hotel. There were five Broncos executives present for the interview, which lasted approximately three-and-a-half hours—the fully allotted time—and concluded shortly before 11 a.m.

The Dolphins also released a statement on the matter.

“We are aware of the lawsuit through the media reports that came out this afternoon,” the Dolphins said. “We vehemently deny any allegations of racial discrimination and are proud of the diversity and inclusion throughout our organization. The implication that we acted in a manner inconsistent with the integrity of the game is incorrect. We will be withholding further comment on the lawsuit at this time.”
