Is the NFL priming us to have new minority owners?

While he sold it under terms more his liking.  He wasn't keeping the team and had he not sold it they would have made him.  Indirectly he was forced to sell.   

Miami and Washington's scandals are far worse.  That's the point.  

You're nit picking. (rolls eyes)

As I understood your post - it was the discrepancies as the topic topic, not the semantics of directly or indirectly selling it, though ‘doing his own investigation’ did relate to that fact as well as the discrepancies at the same time.

Whether it was direct or indirect seems like an irrelevant side effect to the topic of why.

But sure let’s say he was forced indirectly to sell it…cause that makes a huge difference.

First of all there are several articles that these two could be forced to sell by the NFL like they did to Richardson.

Richardson was not forced to sell.

"...could be..." is wide enough to drive a Mack truck though.

In theory it's possible former Head Ball Coach Flores "could be forced to"  pay monetary damages to Stephen Ross who is on the record saying the allegations are “false, malicious and defamatory” and further states he is eager to personally defend himself, and the organization, against said allegations.

It's interesting to note that going into the 2021 season the Dolphins employed a black GM, a black Head Ball Coach, and of the top-8 executive positions below owner -- 50% were filled by black men (this is still the case).

If ever an NFL team exhibited "diversity" it sure appears the Miami Dolphins are that organization...lo & behold, they just hired another minority Head Ball Coach.

If anything Flores was the one who didn't promote black coaches on his staff, only 4-of-20.

Who knows how it will shake out, but this "could have to sell" narrative is entirely premature...

First off, NFL owners would have to give a 3/4 vote to vote Ross out of Miami. That is 24 of 32 yes and 8 of 32 no, meaning Ross just needs 9 no votes to remain. Dolphins, Giants, Texans, and Broncos all named by Flores will give Ross 4 of the 9 needed to stay right off. 

Secondly, even if Ross is forced out it won't be to a minority as there is already a guy named Bruce Beal Jr. that is lined up as the next owner of the Dolphins. The NFL and its owners have already approved it and the paperwork was completed in 2016.

You have to also wonder why Flores hired a law firm with zero minority employees?

With the NFL looking into the scandal in MIami where the owner paid Flores $100,000.00 for each loss and other issues pertaining to what Flores has in his lawsuit.  Plus Daniel Synder's problems in Washington.

Do you think the NFL is going to push them to sell and if so do you think they will push minority owners?   

The NFL can make them sell the team but can they make them sell it to a minority? 

Reportedly Robert F Smith, the country’s richest black billionaire, is not interested in buying the Broncos. However, the NFL are apparently begging him to buy the team. It would be big for the league if they could persuade him or another rich black person to buy the team.

Problem is, it comes down to interest and ability to purchase an NFL team. If rich minority persons do not want to buy one, or they are priced out (eg Broncos are reportedly worth 4 billion), then it won’t happen unless the league amends ownership rules.

For what it’s worth, I think this topic is definitely a relevant one given all that’s going on in the NFL right now and society as a whole. Several posters have already shown their maturity level…shockkkkker.

The link that @TheProcess provided was the first time I had seen that. So thank u for sharing. I’m sure most people weren’t aware of a succession plan already in the works prior to all this.

At the end of the day, people can read into the OP’s original question any way they want.
 

“Is he complaining about diversity?!”

“Is he trolling?”

“Is he just asking a simple question to get everybody’s thoughts?”

I took it as latter and as soon as this news broke, assumed Ross would be forced out as soon as possible. As for his replacement, I don’t think it’d be outlandish to think the NFL would try to save face and put on a front that they truly care about diversity and push for a minority owner.

While I’m all for diversity (owner, coaches, etc), I think the NFL is just all about one color…green.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
