After a 60-day review into allegations made Nick Pivetta Jersey by former Browns coach Hue Jackson's indicating that he team intentionally lost games during his tenure, independent investigators hired by the NFL "determined that none of Jackson's allegations could be substantiated."Jackson, who was fired in 2018 after losing 36 of his 40 games in charge of Cleveland, had previously implied that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam paid him to lose games.Trust me it was a good number! Hue Jackson (@huejack10) Jackson, now the head coach at Grambling State, pulled back on his allegation during an interview with a few days later.No, I was never offered money like Brian (Flores) had mentioned, Jackson told Cooper. I think this is a totally different situation but has some similarities.The investigation was helmed by former Securities and Exchange Commi sion chair Mary Jo White. The independent review found "no evidence" that would substantiate Jackson's claims.According to , the league did not meet with Jackson, despite previously indicating that it had intended to. However, investigators were able to dig into public statements and filings Jackson had already made Didi Gregorius Jersey , as well as his testimony from a previous arbitration hearing. The league did meet with Haslam and other Browns personnel, though.

In February, Flores, former coach of the Dolphins, filed a lawsuit against the league claiming that it uses racist hiring practices. Flores was unceremoniously sacked by Miami following the 2021 season despite finishing with a winning record in back-to-back years.The cla s-action suit, filed by Flores and featuring fellow Black coaches Ray Horton and Steve Wilks, alleges that NFL boardrooms are "rife with racism", even Pete Rose Jersey as the league attempts to paint itself as anti-racist to the ma ses.Flores and his lawyers want to avoid arbitration, . Much of this, Flores' attorney Douglas Wigdor alleges, is due to the fact that in the case of arbitration, NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell would be the arbitrator, a seemingly"unconscionable" situation.Wigdor claims that Goodell Drew Hutchison Jersey would be unable to fairly a se s Flores' lawsuit on account of his "unconscionable bias." Per Wigdor, Goodell earned $120 million from the league's teams in the past two seasons.Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, representing the NFL, said league officials invited Flores, Horton and Wilks to discu s the topic of racial inclusion in the world of coaching. The league, despite being made up of predominantly Black players, employs just six minority head coaches.Flores, Horton and Wilks opted against meeting with the league, according to Lynch."Today, they declined to meet with us," she said.However, Wigdor claimed that the coaches did not feel comfortable meeting with league officials without a judge present.So, although an independent reviewer was able Maikel Franco Jersey to exonerate the Browns from potential malpractice, it seems the league is poised for another lengthy and expensive legal proceeding, after all.
