He was forced to hit for a Sham Interview for a new job even though a white coach had already been selected merely to satisfy league rules on interviewing minority candidates. His lawyers write this, quote, in certain critical ways the nfl is racially segregated and managed much like a plantation. 32 owners none of whom are black profit substantially from the labor of nfl players, 70 of whom are black. They watch from the boxes while their Majority Workforce put their bodies on the line taking vicious hits and suffering debilitating injuries to their bodies and brains while the nfl and owners reap billions of dollars. Well talk to civil rights attorney. Cnn Sports Anchor andy scholes has more on the allegations in this lawsuit. Shock waves really says it. This is a bold and brave move by flores here. Yeah, it certainly is a big moment in nfl history. Brian flores taking a stand fully knowing this may cost him his career after being fired by the dolphins last month after three seasons, flores has been considered a candidate for many head jobs. On tuesday while the Class Action Lawsuit against the league, the dolphins, giants and broncos for Racial Discrimination and for his firing, flores alleges that the giants gave him an interview only to satisfy the rooney rule which requires the team to he meant to send the text to brian dable who used to be one of belichicks assistant. The texts came three days before flores interviewed for the job. Belichick texts are one of the key pieces of evidence in the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims in 2019 john elway showed up to an interview with flores an hour late and looked, quote, Completely Disheveled and hung over. Flores also alleges that Dolphins Owner steven ross offered him 100,000 for every loss during the 2019 season so that the team could get a higher draft pick. Flores says when he refused that, ross then treated him with disdain and as someone who was difficult to work with. All three teams in the nfl put out statements refuting floress claims. With the suit flores also releasing a statement saying god has gifted me with a special talent to coach the game of football but the need for change is bigger than my personal goal. And making the decision to file a Class Action Complaint today i understand that i may be risking coaching the game that i love and that has done so much for my family and me. My sincere hope is that by standing up against systemic racism in the nfl others will join me to ensure that positive change is made for generations to come. So, guys, there is a powerful statement. This is a significant moment. How many open coaching jobs are there right now . There were nine Head Coaching Job Openings to start the season. I believe four of those have now been filled. None of them by black coaches. Hes actively interviewing. He is in the Prosets Cess Of Th hes making all of these allegations. Great reporting. Joining us to help break down all of this in a legal sense. A Arriva Martin joins us. Flores is suing the nfl, this goliath of an organization, essentially blowing the whistle on it and its hiring practice. The organization, the league didnt hire a single Black Head Coach for over 60 years and now only has one. The u. S. Supreme court is about to have more black people than the nfl. What is he going to have to prove to win this . Pretty explosive allegations. The numbers that you just cited dont look good for the league. The fact that only one out of 27 head coaches is africanamerican and given that the league is 70 black as it comes to players, he has to prove a case. He has to prove he was a member of a protected class as an africanamerican, he was qualified to do this job and he will meet that standard and that he was denied Employment Opportunities and that opportunity was given to someone outside of the protected class. This text message from Bill Belichick is going to be a huge piece of evidence, you know, that will be favorable to flores as he moves forward with respect to this lawsuit. If, in fact, the giants had already hired a white coach three days before they were interviewing flores for this job clearly establishes that the interview was a sham as he alleges in the lawsuit. Part of the lawsuit focusing in on this rooney rule, that is this nfl policy from back in 2003. It requires that teams have to interview a certain number of minority candidates in connection with senior positions. Hes saying theyre treated as essentially jokes. Theyll have to legally try to prove that. Yeah. Absolutely. And, again, that text message that says that the job was already assigned to someone before the interview just, you know, gives more justification and more weight to his claim that these interviews are a joke. That rule was put in place to bring diversity to the league, but when you look at what happened in the league since 2003 when that rule was implemented, not much has changed. You still only have one black coach out of 27. So the nfl is going to have to give some justification for why he wasnt given the job specifically with the giants when clearly he was qualified, he was interviewing for a job that had apparently already been filled. Explosive allegations that will require a lot of explanations, depositions under oath by League Officials and team owners. I think were going to be seeing a lot with respect to this. If he makes it to discovery, that could be eyebrow raising. Hes putting his career on the line with this. As we mentioned, hes actively interviewing to be head coach of multiple teams right now. What do you make of his decision to bring this suit forward . Do you think other people might come forward now that hes taken the first step . First of all, i want to commend brian flores for coming forward. It takes a lot of courage. When you file a discrimination based on race, age, even gender, you are often ostracized by that particular field. A lot of teams arent going to want to touch him. We saw what happened with respect to colin kaepernick. Its unlikely any team is going to want to hire brian flores. If no one comes forward and calls out racism, if you dont do this, nothing ever changes. Very bold move on his part to do so, as you said, during the time when hes still interviewing, but i think you have to give him a lot of courage give him a lot of credit for having the courage to stand up to the league because hes going to face a tremendous amount of opposition as the league has already come forward and called his allegations meritless. Arriva martin, thank you very much. Well hear from brian flores will tell Husband Story live on new day in the 8 a. M. Hour. Whoopie goldberg off the view for two weeks. Abc has suspended goldberg one day after she said this about the holocaust. The holocaust isnt about race. No . No. Maybe no. Different race but its not about race. Its not about race. What is it about . Because you its about mans inhumanity to man. Those remarks drew widespread outrage and so goldberg apologized on twitter on monday night and again she went further on tuesdays show. I said something that i feel a responsibility for not leaving unexamined because my words upset so many people, which was never my intention. It is, indeed, about race because hitler and the nazis considered jews to be an inferior race. Words matter and mine are no exception. I regret my comments as i said and i stand corrected. Abc news president said in a statement here, she suspended goldberg for her wrong and hurtful comments. While whoopie has apologized, ive asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.

Russias Vladimir Putin speaking out about rising tensions. He says hes being ignored and deceived by nato. Translator we were given promises not to push the infrastructure of the nato bloc to the east one inch. Everyone knows this well. Today we see where nato is located. Poland, romania, the baltic countries. They said one thing, they did another. As people say, they screwed us over. We have two live reports on the growing crisis. Melissa bell is in ukraine. Nic robertson is in moscow. We turn to another leader. Reporter yeah, Emmanuel Macron said he hoped he would meet with him soon. Putin had a phone call with macron monday, had a phone call a few days before. Interesting as well last night Emmanuel Macron had a phone call with the canadian Prime Minister justin trudeau. This was a reminder for the french president if he gets deeper into a conversation, maybe a meeting with putin, he goes there as a representative of nato and not of his own nation. You know, of course everyone is trying to scratch their heads and figure out what did putin really mean . What was he trying to do . These pronouncements yesterday, the State Department saying theyll wait for the written response. They wont try to read the tea leaves. This is very much putins negotiating style to turn up the talks. You can look at his position yesterday as part of his very aggressive diplomacy but he is standing there at the door wanting to get wanting to have a conversation whereby he gets something he wants. What hes doing is saying dont look at me. Dont look at my previous invasions. Look what youve done. Look at the time youve broken international agreements. It will be to nato to maintain its unity on responding to that. The macron we heard from the president a few minutes ago, potential diplomacy. The kremlin is saying a potential light for diplomacy. Nic, thank you so much for that. Boris johnson with some of his own words for putin. What i think President Putin is trying to achieve here. I think that he is trying by holding a gun, as it were, to the head of ukraine by intimidating ukraine to get us to change the way we look at something that was absolutely fantastic. Cnns melissa bell joins us live from kyiv, ukraine. What was behind johnsons meeting with president zelensky . Reporter whats interesting is the proximity between london and washington. The tone has been extremely firm with Vladimir Putin as well. That Press Conference was being held even as Vladimir Putin was holding his own. It appears that window for diplomacy appeared to be narrowing. Weve heard from the French Foreign minister who represents another school of thought within nato. The infrastructure may be there, but we have yet to hear about the russian president s willingness. Interesting as nic just said, he should have spoke about meeting with Emmanuel Macron. They spoke twice in the span of four days. It is clear the french represent with their german counterparts a much more determined approach in terms of looking at diplomacy, looking at how they can reach out to moscow than either washington.

In just a couple hours from now the Republican National committees Winter Meeting kicks off in salt lake city. One of the key items on their agenda, kicking two of their own out of the House Republican conference for telling the truth about their de facto leader, donald trump. Cnns daniellea diaz. Who exactly is being targeted here . Do they care . Reporter laura, no surprise its Adam Kin Singer and liz cheney. They served on the House Select Committee and the two most outspoken republicans against former president Donald Trumps big lie that the election the 2020 election was stolen from him. But, look, this is a proposal to endorse removing cheney and kin singer from the Republican Party. While its symbolic, it shows the criticism that conservatives have against these two republicans for their continued comments against the former president. The way this will work, its expected to be taken up at the republican committees meeting. It will be passed out of the Resolutions Committee today. Then all 168 rnc members are likely to vote on it friday morning. Congresswoman liz cheney did provide a statement about this. She dismissed this resolution. She said the leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a president ial election and suggests he would pardon january 6th defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy. So really, laura, the bottom line here is that these conservatives continue to criticize Adam Kinsinger and liz cheney. These two continue to be very outspoken against former President Donald Trump and the republicans that continue to push the big lie.

Not only does the pandemic have a shadow, its an issue of chinas human rights abuses. More on that. The current tensions have prompted a new warning from the fbi. Cnns steven jiang is live in beijing. Whats this warning . Reporter well, christine, the fbis urging Olympic Athletes to leave their personal phones at home and instead bring a Burner Device to the beijing games citing security concerns. Obviously this is not a shocking revelation. Before this warning some National Committees have been telling their athletes to do this and reminding them of the pervasive high tech surveillance both online and in the real world. For travelers coming to china regularly before the pandemic, this has been known for quite some time. Obviously high profile in nature of the olympics has us under a global spotlight. Another issue of growing concern is the covid cases inside the socalled closed loop, the olympic bubbles. 32 Olympic Personnel tested positive on tuesday in the bubbles. This is part of the reason. As you mentioned, why the torch relay is such a truncated area in and around beijing in a very controlled setting. This might not be a bad thing. Remember back in 2008, before the beijing games, protesters lined the routes. Keep your phones at home, i guess. Laura . Lets dig in on all of this with josh rogen from the washington post. Josh, nice to see you this morning. When youre at the point that you need a burner phone to go somewhere, it feels as though weve reached a pretty low point. Right. Its one of the signs that this olympics is much different than weve seen, even much different than the one beijing hosted in 2008. The Chinese Government has become more oppressive, aggressive and more brazen. Just in the last two weeks they threatened athletes if they spoke up about human rights, they could be arrested on chinese soil. They are downloading a Health Care App and then theyre going around and intimidating all of the teams to say if you get out of line, there could be conse consequences. Its against the spirit of the olympics and the value of the olympics. Doesnt seem like the International Olympic committee will side with free speech. Olympics founded in a greek democracy. Heres what fbi director chris ray said monday. Chinas government has the global reach and presence of a great nation but it refuses to act the part and too often uses its capabilities to steal and threaten. In many ways its reached a new level, more brazen, more damaging than ever before and its vital, vital that all of us focus on that threat together. So that is a pointed comment. How has the chinese comment been more brazen . What does Director Wray mean by facing it, quote, together. All countries spy and steal but with china, theyve expanded their espionage. So much that the fbi cant handle it. 2,000 open investigations in all 50 states. Thats what fbi director chris wray says. They are stealing from our academic campuses which the fbi doesnt work with well. What hes saying is this is a whole of Society Threat and we need a whole of Society Response although because of our broken politics and our broken government and our broken congress, its really hard to see that happening right now. Josh, despite the u. S. Governments diplomatic boycott of the games, theyre still starting two days with no sponsors withdrawn. Theyre still being covered on national television, what do you make of this . Theyve been silent about the Human Rights Violations going on. The reason theyre doing that is because of their financial interests because theyre either paying the Chinese Communist party for the privilege of sponsoring or they have interests in doing business that would be squashed. It leaves the burden on the athletes which is unfair. Theyre the ones with the least amount of money and power in this whole thing, but they have the spotlight on them. What youre going to see is very brave athletes, this is my prediction, who are going to do things that make sure these games dont go by without people noticing and mentioning theres a genocide going on in that country. They are taking a great risk and deserve our support. Jesse owen, m. S. Cantore freedom is doing. It will be interesting to see what athletes stand up. Sometimes winning is enough in the face of totalitarianism. Josh rogan, cnn political analyst, thank you so much. Any time. In just about 90 minutes from now Boris Johnson comes face to face with parliament again. With his job on the line, the british Prime Minister has apologized for the party gate scandal. Thats where cnns Selma Abdelaziz is this morning. What do we expect to hear from him . What more can he say at this point . Reporter lauren, he will be back from ukraine. You can expect him to talk about ukraine, the vaccine and his plan is distraction and delay. Thats pointing to a police investigation. Not the best strategy because the police are pouring over 500 documents, 300 images, zeroing in on eight different gatherings, eight different parties allegedly where covid rules could have potentially been broken. So bottom line, time is not on the Prime Ministers side because theres this growing rebellion inside his own party against him. Today we got news of another conservative lawmaker, tobias e elmwide, who says Conservative Party have to reached a certain threshold. This is not good news if we continue to hear of more and more law mmakerslawmakers. Well see. Selma, thank you.

There is a bit of suspension between opec and its allies. Three options, one, do nothing. They could keep production steady. That feels up likely but opec has surprised us. Two, they could stick to the game plan s. I. Increasing production. They could actually ramp up production. Thats what the white house has tried and failed repeatedly to get opec to do. The good news is Goldman Sachs put out a report saying, yeah, we do think theres a growing chance that opec plus will really ramp up production. They noted that, yeah, prices have entered what they call a political intervention territory. The bad news is even if opec plus does ramp up production, Goldman Sachs doesnt see a big hit to prices. They dont think opec plus is going to intervene. Thats because high prices are good for the budgets of the nations. Like russia. Like russia. 81 in 2021.
