Ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend, we speak to former National Football League player Donté Stallworth about racism and anti-Blackness in the league. Last week, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores sued the NFL, as well as three teams — the Dolphins, Broncos and Giants — for discriminating against him as a Black candidate during his interview process. In his complaint, Flores says the NFL is "racially segregated and is managed much like a plantation," with wealthy white owners and head coaches at the top while the majority of players who risk bodily injury are Black. "Hopefully at the end of this, Brian Flores can continue his coaching, but also that we can see some changes in the NFL," says Stallworth.
