Brian Flores alleges the Denver Broncos also held a “sham” interview to suffice the Rooney Rule
but also three teams—Dolphins, Giants and Broncos—as well as unidentified individuals for racist hiring practices.
Among various complaints, the proposed class action states that Flores went through “sham” interviews that were held solely to be in compliance with the Rooney Rule, including a meeting with Denver in 2019. Then-general manager John Elway, president and CEO Joe Ellis and others who were part of the interview process allegedly showed up an hour late, per the copy of the complaint.
“They looked completely disheveled, and it was obvious that they had been drinking heavily the night before. It was clear from the substance of the interview that Mr. Flores was interviewed only because of the Rooney Rule, and that the Broncos never had any intention to consider him as a legitimate candidate for the job. Shortly thereafter, Vic Fangio, a white man, was hired to be the Head Coach of the Broncos.
The Rooney Rule as we know it today says NFL teams must interview two minority candidates when looking for a franchise's next head coach. But when Denver was interviewing, the rule only mandated one minority candidate had to be interviewed. Fangio, Mike Munchak, Chuck Pagano and Zac Taylor were reportedly among those the Broncos spoke with for the job, Flores being the only Black candidate.
“The Rooney Rule is also not working because management is not doing the interviews in good-faith, and it therefore creates a stigma that interviews of Black candidates are only being done to comply with the Rooney Rule rather than in recognition of the talents that the Black candidates possess.”This was not the only “sham” interview included in the complaint.
