[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1075183, member: 74121"] It seems Flores' lawsuit is against 3 clubs rather than all 32, so I'll correct myself. In terms of the Giants I'd merely flag up they had a GM from 2007 to 2017 who won a couple of Superbowls, and happened to be black. GM is arguably the most senior and important appointment an NFL owner can make, but we are to believe that 5 years later, the Giants have become a discriminatory organisation and that Flores wasn't considered for selection because of his race rather than because there was a clearly preferred candidate by the new GM. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Reese[/URL] Goodell is absolutely right to say the NFL isn't doing good enough, but that doesn't mean I have any sympathy with Flores, at all. The NFL owners club is a small one and if he has gained a reputation as not being a team player then he was always going to struggle to get a job despite his clear ability.

So with zero confidence, I'm going for Rams by 10. I'm also wimping out. With flexi time working I'll get up at 6am and start work after I've finished the match. [/QUOTE]
