Hey, consider this listeners. It's Elsa Chang with a Sunday bonus episode for you.

Now, the biggest story in the NFL last week was not the upcoming Super Bowl or the new name

for the Washington football team. It's the commanders, by the way.

Now, the biggest story centered on the Miami Dolphins and the head coach, they recently fired

Brian Flores. Flores, who is black and Latino, says the premature end of his contract, is

three teams in the entire NFL engaged in racist hiring practices and racial discrimination.

He says he has a responsibility to speak out against his former employer. Brian, welcome

that's much bigger than me, which is a system in the NFL that, in my opinion, is broken

as far as hiring practices for black and minority coaches and minorities in general.

What cemented your decision? You say you were back and forth. What got you over that hump?
