Dolphins owner Stephen Ross on Wednesday delivered a strongly worded reply to former Miami coach Brian Flores' racial discrimination lawsuit against the team, two other clubs and the NFL, as well as Flores' allegations that Ross wanted to incentivize losing three years ago.
In the suit, which was filed Tuesday in federal court, Flores said that Ross offered him a $100,000-per-game bonus for every loss by the Dolphins in the 2019 season, Flores' first as the team's head coach.
Ross made a blanket denial of the allegations in his statement, which he released to ESPN and other media Wednesday night.
"With regards to the allegations being made by Brian Flores, I am a man of honor and integrity and cannot let them stand without responding. I take great personal exception to these malicious attacks, and the truth must be known. His allegations are false, malicious and defamatory. We understand there are media reports stating that the NFL intends to investigate his claims, and we will cooperate fully. I welcome that investigation and I am eager to defend my personal integrity, and the integrity and values of the entire Miami Dolphins organization, from these baseless, unfair and disparaging claims."
Ross did not provide specific information to support his denial.
A few hours before Ross' statement, the Dolphins said in a separate release that they "vehemently deny any allegations of racial discrimination and are proud of the diversity and inclusion throughout our organization."
