The way I read the reporting, while he's named the Giants, Dolphins and Broncos in the suit, he's not suing all for racism directly. He's suing the NFL saying the Rooney Rule is a sham and thereby racist. He's suing the teams for bad faith; Giants interview was apparently post offering Daboll the job, making his interview a sham, the Broncos for interviewing him because they had to (they apparently didn't take the interview seriously by turning up hungover etc.) and the Dolphins case seems more like malfeasance than racism.

Could just be my interpretation of the news stories though.

That is what he is claiming but while some call it a sham lets not forget what happen to the Colts and the Jets when named HC after accepting the job walked away. John Mara called Flores and told him he was high on their list personally but Mara also gave the New GM Schoen the call to make.


To add while the Rooney rule isn't perfect no laws were broken there was no discrimination.

I´m not sure that interviewing Person B after offering the job to Person A makes it a sham.

When I was in a team leading position I regularly interviewed people even after sending out an offer to somebody else. Just in case the first candidate didn´t take our offer so we had a backup plan.

Just like when I looked for jobs I had multiple interviews even after being offered a job by a company I interviewed with before.
