NFL
Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is filing a lawsuit against the NFL and all 32 teams, saying there is racial discrimination in the league’s hiring process. Flores alleges that the New York Giants decided Brian Daboll was going to be their next head coach days before they were scheduled to interview Flores.
The lawsuit also alleges Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered Flores 100-thousand dollars for every loss during the 2019 season in an effort to secure the number one pick in the draft.
The Washington Football Team is set to unveil a new team name and logo today. The NFL franchise made the announcement last month in a letter written by the team’s president. While Jason Wright didn’t give a hint at what the name will be, he did say the team will not be called the Wolves or Red Wolves. The team has been known as the Washington Football team since 2020 after retiring the Redskins name and logo.

ESPN reports the sides met again Tuesday, but failed to agree on terms for a new collective bargaining agreement. It all but ends the league’s chances to avoid delaying the start of spring training.
