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.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year

      That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.

      There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
