Kanye has taken time off from going after Pete Davidson to show support for ex-Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.
Flores is suing the NFL for racist hiring practices. This is something that Kanye didn’t know about until he spoke to his father, Ray West, recently.
If you aren’t familiar with the case, here is what is going on.
With Super Bowl LVI now in the rearview, the NFL has nothing to distract from the glaring allegations against Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross — levied by former head coach Brian Flores in a lawsuit that claims Ross offered as much as $100,000 for every loss the team landed in 2019. The alleged goal was to intentionally tank for a better draft spot, something that strikes at the very heart of the league’s integrity, and after initially issuing a statement stating Flores’ allegations were “without merit,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has since done an abrupt and definitive about-face.
The league has not only launched an investigation into Flores’ allegations of Rooney Rule violations by the New York Giants in their hiring process that ended with Brian Daboll being named head coach, but also into claims Ross was attempting to pay for losses. It’s a damning allegation that, if proven true, could result in extreme discipline, up to and including Ross being forced out of the NFL by a vote of other owners — per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
“I do believe that clubs do have the authority to remove an owner from the league,” Goodell said on Wednesday.
Ye went to Instagram to let Flores know that he has his support and if he wanted a spot with Donda Sports, there would be one available to him. I doubt Flores would take him up on his offer, but it is a kind gesture anyway.
Flip the pages for Kanye, saying he wants to reach out to Flores and help him any way he can.
