SOCCER

Two black coaches joined Brian Flores on Thursday in his lawsuit alleging racist NFL hiring practices amid vacancies for coaches and general managers.

The updated lawsuit in Manhattan federal court added coaches Steve Wilks and Ray Horton.

The lawsuit said Wilks was discriminated against by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 when he was hired as a ‘bridge coach’ but had no meaningful chance of succeeding, while Horton was subjected to discriminatory treatment when he received a fake interview for the Tennessee Titans. position of head coach in January 2016.

Flores also criticized the NFL in the rewritten lawsuit for its response to the lawsuit he filed against her and her teams several weeks ago.

The lawsuit added the Houston Texans to the teams Flores claimed to have discriminated against him, claiming the Texans engaged in ‘blatant retaliation’ by removing him from consideration for his head coaching job after suing the league.

In a statement from trial attorneys, Wilks said he hopes the trial will help bring racial equality to the league. Arizona replaced Wilks with Kliff Kingsbury, a white man with no NFL coaching experience, and granted an extension to a white general manager despite a drunk driving conviction.

“When Coach Flores filed this lawsuit, I knew I had an obligation to myself and all black coaches and aspiring black coaches in the NFL to stand with him,” he said. “This lawsuit has shed important new light on a problem that we all know exists, but too few are prepared to confront. Black coaches and candidates should have exactly the same ability to become employed and to remain employed as black coaches and candidates. white coaches and candidates.

Horton said he was “devastated and humbled” when he learned his Titans interview was a sham.

“By joining this business, I hope to turn this experience into positive and lasting change and create true equal opportunity in the future,” he said.

The NFL declined to comment Thursday.

Flores sued the NFL and three teams on Feb. 1 after being fired as Miami Dolphins coach in January after leading the Dolphins to a 24-25 record in three years. They went 9-8 in their second straight season, but failed to qualify for the playoffs during his tenure.

He has since been hired as an assistant coach by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
