A recruiting firm memo tied to former NFL coach Brian Flores is unsealed as part of Flores’ discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and multiple teams. Lawyers for Flores say the document includes language that relies on racial stereotypes, which they argue reflects discriminatory bias in the hiring process.
The memo’s disclosure is reported alongside Flores’ broader claims in litigation that name the NFL and other figures, including allegations involving coaches Steve Wilks and Ray Horton. Coverage emphasizes that the memo is one piece of evidence being presented in the case, while the NFL and related parties have not been described in the available summaries as agreeing with the characterizations made by Flores’ legal team.
Across outlets, the focus is on the memo’s content and timing—its unsealing during the ongoing legal proceedings—framing it as part of the evidence supporters say shows discriminatory practices in NFL coaching recruitment.
