but let me ask you, what do you think of the rooney rule?s lawsuit seems to prove that it hasn't worked. >> the problem with the rooney rule is it underestimates racial bias. the rooney rule says, "you don't like black people? well, hang out with one and see what happens!" but nothing happened! so now, it's even worse now. you're still hiring the white coach, and wasting a black man's time! >> trevor: right. so let me ask you-- >> not to mention, this rule messes with a black man's self-esteem. he's going on all these interviews and doesn't get the job, he's obviously gonna wonder "is it me?" you get low self-esteem. that shit starts to affect your whole life. you start having problems with intimacy. your girl asks, "what's wrong?" but you're too manly to admit that when you get older, things don't work as good. you know what i'm talking about, trevor? you upon exactly what i'm talking about. you've been through this shit. you start growing apart. she leaves you. next thing you know, she's dating the white coach, because he's got a good job!

rooney.u could comment more, on brian flores, son of hundred immigrants, black latinx coach, 40 years old, young, externally successful coach. are you and others afraid he will face the same kind of blackballing or should i say white bawling as a former quarterback: cap her neck? -- calling cap her neck. clothes that -- she's only four years old but he is been in the league -- >> he is only 40 years old but he has been in the league. he worked his way up as a scout in the personnel department and became a coach and ended up assisting in one of the greatest super bowls we have ever seen when malcolm butler at the end of the super bowl in arizona against the seattle seahawks and a great play. he was integral to that and that is why was able to get the coaching job of the miami dolphins. the miami dolphins have dobbin the greatest football team lately. -- have not been the greatest football team lately. brian flores has been the most successful coach and yet here he is on the sidelines not parti

since 2003, the nfl had the rooney rule, named for the steelers bill rooney.esign to hire gentle marcs in front office jobs. in a legal sfens% of players are black, 11 out of 28 head coaches in the nfl is black. there are coaches of puerto rican and mexican december scent and lebanese. the nfl saying the suit is without merit, but like colin kaepernick did on the players side he seems to put his reputation at risk. flores told "new day" earlier this wk the following. >> i would say i feel similar pressures that black people feel in all fields, not just football. but we have to do more. that we have to be better. that we have to, you know, we have to be exceptional. just to stay on an even -- level playing field. and it's, you know, in a lot of ways unfair. but that's -- i know i'm not alone in that feeling. i know that. and, you know, i think we're going to get more stories similar to mine. >> joining me now is espn host and executive producer of "stephen a.'s world," stephen a., great to have you back. why aren't there more black coaches? >> well, it's the pr

the rooney rule doesn't work. it is time for the court to make an appointment.ke sure that there is diversity among up coaches, and that is why this litigation is so important. i have not been able to do this on their own and so now john, or myself, obviously with the help of our client, we will make them -- >> and when you talk about this situation, how can it be equal opportunity to get a job when the job is promised before the black or minority candidate interviews? that is not an equal opportunity. and when you talk about who is in the position of power, they are all white owners. and they are not anybody who is ultimately going to, potentially, step out on a limb and really give an opportunity. >> i have to say, and i am sure you have seen reaction to this, it has been everywhere. a lot of the reaction from black folks that i know, friends of mine, and other people online has been something like, i have been in that interview, and i know i was trotted in there for window dressing, and i was felt gassed lit. and there is something traumatizing about seeing t

the rooney rule was created in 2003. the rooney rule in the nfl being that nfl teams had to interview minority candidates for every head coach position. and it was later expanded to then include front office positions as well. since the rooney rule was instituted, there have been 127 head coaches hired in the nfl. only 27 of them have been black. right now the nfl has one black team president, with the washington football team, the first black team president in 100 seasons. 100. just one. and now despite the presence of the rooney rule, you have one black coach in the nfl, that being mike tomlin, with the pittsburgh steelers. so for the nfl to put out a statement in response to brian flores' lawsuit to say his claims are without merit, the numbers speak for itself. if there was no merit to it, why do you have a rooney rule? we know and have known for a long time this was a persistent problem. the question was who was going to do what brian flores did, and make this a legal issue? and the reason that i -- that i brought u

rooney's affidavit as well. and there was a deposition taken of mr. rooney.nd one subject they never asked him about was what do you do to make sure it is consistent with the city's message? they never asked that question. so it is stipulated at 149a that he would review to make sure that the city's decision to fly the flag was consistent with the city's message. >> counsel, the problem you have with that answer is that the city's -- city's message diversity of views and backgrounds. and clearly, religion was one of them. you have no problem, and he had no problem with raising flags that have religious symbols on it. you had no problem with having religious groups speak. his only problem was, as justice gorsuch pointed out, was this mistaken belief that the constitution required that the city not raise a flag that had a cross by a religious group. that's a very different and substantially unsub -- i'm sorry. let me rephrase that. that belief is the one that justice gorsuch was challenging. >> your honor, i think that with respect to foreign government flags,

they are exceeding anything in the rooney rules as far as the interviews.n the nfl. coaches and people of color and gender that we think is important so it's an inclusive process and hopefully inclusive outcome. s >> joining us now is writer at espn. welcome back. i want to read one more thing we heard. he said for me to sit here and say i know something, if i knew something was flawed with our process in any area, we would be addressing that. is this a problem of process. >> first off, it was 13 years. >> my bad. 13 years. s >> thaes okay. i work real hard for those 13. my body feels it every day. yeah, there's a flaw in the process because the rooney rule put in place because there was a dp glaring need for diversity especially at the head coaching position. you weren't getting the qualified candidates to even have interviews. hiring processes were happening without any african-american applicants getting an opportunity to go in and interview. the rooney rules put in place to facilitate more, should i say, face-to-face meetings with these eligible minorit

clearly, this rooney rule is not working.ore inclusive, what do the numbers actually tell you in your reporting? >> the numbers are actually very interesting. in the immediacy after the rooney rule was instituted, we did see an uptick of black coaches and black head coaches and i think we topped out at six or seven. that's really a good clip in the entirety of the history of the nfl, but in the history of the rooney rule, we have had 129 open head coaching positions and 15 of them have been filled by black head coaches or head coaches of color. so, i think that that tells you it's an 11% to 12% clip there, and that's not indicative of who is playing, who is watching, and where the expertise supposedly is, and that's really a huge difference here. >> i want to bring up some of these stats that i have because we do know most head coaches are obviously recruited from, come from, coordinator positions, if you're looking at offensive coordinators, you have four african american offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators, there

with that said, i think the rooney rule concept is sound.ed a few moments ago, that you let someone in the door, in the interview room that otherwise wouldn't have gotten in, to give them an opportunity, that's the idea. a think a sound idea and policy. the challenge is designed on implementation, if clubs don't implement the rule and flores alleging that's exactly what happened in new york. if clubs don't implement the rule and the league does not punish clubs that don't blement the rule. then other clubs aren't going to see it as important that they need to tend to. then they won't implement the rules. it's not a question of the rule. it's a question of implementation. >> jeremi, i should let you know, i'm actually a huge dolphins fan. i was upset when the team fired flores. he was a good coach. they had won a lot of games. even though he alleges that the owner offered him 100x per loss effectively tanking. he's putting his career in jeopardy here. do you think he is coaches in the nfl again? >> boris, i hope he has the opportunity to -- a

i really appreciate the rooney rule and what it was supposed to do. it needs to be revamped. there needs to be an outside source. the problem is that the nfl is america's passion, as we've discussed before. they really are looking at this like they cannot be stopped. they cannot be defeated. it's going to be hard to ask someone to police themselves when they're the police and the gang and everything else all in one. >> they have put forward other efforts, right, after george floyd's killing in june of 2020, the nfl took other actions to address some things like committing $250 million over a ten-year period to combat systemic racism, they added the phrasing end racism and it takes all of us to end zones. they publicly backed black lives matter and that movement and admitted to past mistakes like with colin kaepernick, and they played lift every voice and sing, known as the black national anthem, on opening games that year. were these things meaningful or do you see them as band-aids on a system that needs surgery? >> i wouldn't even call it a band-aid. you talk about another

responsibilities embedded in the rooney rule. that is what has let brian flores down d a number of other coaches down as well. i mean, how could the new york giants, their executive office, actually bring him in for an interview, for a job that they had already decided to give to someone else? it is the ultimate embarrassment for brian flores, which he does not deserve, and it was the trigger, obviously, for him to file this scorched-earth lawsuit not just against the giants and the broncos and a couple of other teams he named, but against all of the owners inhe national football league. william: i mean, the giants, in their defense, say they did consider flores seriously. maybe they interviewed him very late in the process, but that they chose to go with somebody else, and that is still their legal right to do. if, as you argue, that this is about the people who are entrusted with enacting that rule, we can't force people to hire people of certain minority status. so how do we level this playing field? what's the path forward? k

the rooney rule doesn't work. everyone knows that.ney rule started, we had more. it doesn't work. implement policies. acknowledge their fault, recognize what's happened to brian, move forward, set an example, not only for the nfl, but let's set an example for the rest of america, let's come together at this time, i see this as an opportunity for them, rather than legal denials and things, let's move forward. >> you make that case, you see what happened to colin kaepernick. colin kaepernick, took a stand, never played again in the nfl. so how optimistic are you there will be a change? >> well, look, i'm for anyone who is -- whose goal is to create change. and, you know, i back that. i understand the risks. and i want to coach. i'm gifted to coach. i love coaching. i'm passionate about it. and i'm hopeful that i will coach again. >> you had interviews in the last two days with the texans and the saints. so that's still out there. look, i want you to hang on for a second if you will. i have a loot t more to ask you. there is an explosive

the you look at it, what the nfl was before the rooney rule and what the nfl has been since the rooneyhis league didn't get its first black coach until 1989. we're not talking about deep into yesteryear with art shell with the raiders in '89. then the rooney rule came into place in 2003 because african american candidates were not getting what they felt was a fair shot at these jobs. we continue to tell the same story in 2022. it's not a surprise. the one thing the nfl needs to reconcile is that it has a problem, but when it is called out on the problem, it gets very defensive. and generally, and mike can attest to this, generally the nfl doesn't make change unless it comes through the courts or some time of embarrassment. the league, in other words, is not able to correct serious cultural and legal issues on its own. it's usually some outside force that comes in and makes that change. that's why i think brian flores' lawsuit is so effective. >> mike florio, the giants, broncos, and dolphins have pushed back as well against flores' allegations of racial discrimination, but you can't de

in fact, they're exceeding anything in the rooney rules as far as the interviews.s the outcomes, right? we want to see black head coaches in the nfl, and people of color. >> his comments come in the wake of a class action lawsuit by former coach brian flores, who is alleging discrimination against black head coaches and executives. here's the facts about the league's hiring. currently about 70% of nfl players are black, yet the league has only two black head coaches. and between 2012 and 2021, nfl teams hired 82 white head coaches and general managers as opposed to only 17 head coaches and managers of color. that's nearly, for those doing the math, five times more. and look at the offensive and defensive coordinators. well, the pattern is still there as well. 168 white hires versus only 51 people of color over a ten-year period. let's discuss now with ba mani jones. he's the host of the right time with bomani jones podcast. good to see you. how are you doing? >> i'm doing all right. how about you? >> i'm good although those figures are quite disturbing when you thi

carries out the so-called "rooney rule." that rule was created nearly 20 years ago to give more minority candidates opportunities to become n.f.l. head coaches. it was amended in 2020 to say that teams must interview at least two minority candidates not associated with their team for any head coach openings. >> it was humiliating. to be quite honest? it was disbelief. there was anger, there was... you know, a wave of emotions, for a lot of reasons. >> brangham: the n.f.l., in response, said it would defend against the lawsuit, and that diversity is "core to everything we do, and there are few issues on which our clubs and our internal leadership spend more time." flores's suit, filed as a putative class action, will need certification from the court to proceed. to unpack more of this, i'm joined by kevin blackistone. he is a columnist at the "washington post," and a equent guest on espn. kevin blackistone, great to have you back on the "newshour". so brian flores has two straight winning seasons, he's fired by the dolphins,

floors claims the league's rooney rule intended to give minorities and opportunity head coaching and front office positions has turned into a practice of interviewing black candidates just to check a box. he says his interview with the new york giants was a shame, and the job was already promised to another person something he claims he learned in attacks from patriots head coach bill belichick, who reportedly sent that text of floors by mistake. floors also says he turned down money from the owner of the miami dolphins to lose games in order to get a better trap pick and he believes that's why he was ultimately fired. dr sean fletcher, professor of public relations in sport communication, and sanders, a state university says. it has been a poorly kept secret that the nfl struggles with diversity from the top of the organization to the bottom, and fletcher says he used to work with the washington commanders in football personnel years ago in their scouting division. i saw firsthand many of the situations that young upstart, uh black and brown coaches found themselves in in trying to

they called on the commissioner to overhaul the rooney rule. league's 20 year policy that requires teams to interview minority candidates for coaching and executive positions. they requested the meeting with goodell, the quote, establish specific recruiting and hiring practices. the kerry meaningful consequences for teams that do not meet those requirements. flores, most recently head coach of the dolphins fired in january, accused the dolphins, the new york giants and the denver broncos with racial discrimination and a proposed class action suit with a giant flores alleged the team had already decided who would be its next head coach before he was scheduled to interview for the position he cited congratulatory text messages he received from patriots coach bill belicheck that seemed to be intended for bryant daybell who the giants ultimately hired. he spoke about it on the cbs morning news last week. we have to file a lawsuit for for the world to know that there's a problem from of from hiring standpoint in regards to the minority coaches in th

this weekend for years hosting the denver nuggets tonight at chase across for sports reporter kate rooneys now live from the arena with that. >> preview of the big game, kate. >> hey, vicky. hey, grant. yeah. all-star break coming right up. and the warriors could use some time off right about now. they have lost 3 of their last 4 games. they've moved into second place in the western conference standings. so they're just a game and a half up on memphis who sits in 3rd. we've got pretty used to this team dominating games early in the season and we assume to be pretty much unbeatable by the time klay thompson came back. but we also we're banking on james wiseman missing so much time or draymond green missing so much time with a lower disc injury. he has been out since the beginning of the year. and today the warriors announced he is progressing. well, has started doing some light on court work and is expected to return sometime after the all-star break. that's really good news. sounds like things are on track for green now. he was also out last time the dubs played tonight's opponent, which

we have to remember with the rooney rule, what got the rooney rule put in place was litigation. it was johnnie cochran threatening to do the same thing that brian flores has done. so we know that they will respond to legal action. now i think his case needs to be strengthened by other coaches who we know have experienced some of the same things that he has. they need to join the fight because i'm telling you, there's strength in numbers. >> what about the players, then? so colin kaepernick -- it's been six years since colin kaepernick first began his protests. would the reaction be different if players did that now, maybe what you're suggesting the coaches do? >> well, i think the players, they certainly could show a level of solidarity. but ultimately i think the coaches really have to be the lead on this. obviously players, they hold a position of power because they are the product. you know, they are the labor for lack of a better way to put it. and the nfl engine can't go without them. but i think in this case -- be resilient and try to make an example of the nfl to let them

october 2019, a very famous post by coleen rooney, l famous post by coleen rooney, alarmed by what sheo coleen rooney was wanting to be able to bring a case of misuse of private information against caroline watt because if vardy was found not to have been a correct then it would look as though it was vindication on vardy�*s side, this is what coleen rooney�*s lawyers are suggesting and she wanted to see i want to at least prove it was caroline watt dated the leaking, if it was hard at it, so concrete it already. in orderfor this it was hard at it, so concrete it already. in order for this case to go ahead on the 9th of may, it was decided that the case can�*t be brought at the same time. that�*s as far as we got with that. then there is a much more complicated issue of whatsapp messages, instagram messages, thousands upon thousands, 90 hours have been spent going through them and this was a question of which of the messages that were inadvertently revealed to coleen rooney�*s lawyers... a large number of messages have been redacted but there was a mistake apparently at, and they haven�

the rooney rule is a rule that places the emphasis on quality rather than outcome.t three years. he highlights a disturbing interview with the broncos, talks about the text messages he received with bill belichick, congratulating him on a job he hadn't interviewed yet by mistake. because all of that spoke to what was not going to be a legitimate shot at getting a job. this is a lawsuit that has very serious implications, but i also want to underscore, in addition to the racial implications that the lawsuit has, there are also the allegations that the nfl has not taken seriously with regard to competitive tampering by its owners. so basically flores said he was offered money to throw games and lose as a black coach when he was in miami and he refused to do so. and that's why he was fired, even though he won eight out of his last nine games. that is something that has very, very serious problems with it when you think about what it could do to the league. if the nfl cannot prove the seriousness of the competition, they cannot maintain their fan base. >> professor moor

thank you. _ wayne rooney also features in today's editon of the football news show.eaming now on the iplayer. zourma's brother yoan has been suspended by his club, dagenham and redbridge. while the rspca conduct an investigation into the video that shows kurt kicking a cat. yoan filmed the incident that has been widely condemned. the rspca have taken the two cats he owns into their care. and are also co—operating with police. the raith rovers manager john mcglynn admits the club didn't anticipate the level of fall out from the signing of david goodwillie. the club signed the striker, who was found, by a civil court, to be a rapist but then performed a u turn following a huge public backlash. mcglynn admitted it was an enormous error but said the signing was a collective decision. i get it. i understand. they are all going through it right now. and so, yeah, i do understand that but with all we can do, be completely made a mistake and that's what were saying. we made a mistake. and we would hope that the sea that we made an error in some errors or are greater than oth

kate rooney has the latest in sports. >> the forty-niners are losing their offensive coordinator. mike mcdaniel has been hired to become the head coach of the miami dolphins mcdaniel had been with the forty-niners since kyle shanahan arrived in 2000. 17 started as a run game specialist and run game coordinator. and finally offensive coordinator. this past season. the forty-niners will receive a pair of compensatory third-round picks under the expanded rooney rule since mcdaniel is multi racial. all right. final round of the atnt pro and the beach man. most beautiful sight in the game. >> this one came down to 2 players, tom hobie and jordan speech. here's hoagie on the 16th. beautiful approach. shot lands just a couple of inches from the hole. that's what you want. he would tap in for birdie and be tied for the lead 17th hole. now its speed putting to save par. but he missed just left the bogey dropped him from the co-lead magic hoagie. putting for another birdie on 17. it is down for a 2 shot lead and that was more than enough. hoagie holds up speed to win his first career pga to
