In this episode of the Success Fundamentals Podcast, Kris Sykes and Brian Goldsack talk about the recent controversy surrounding decorated American Football coach Brian Flores, who recently filed a class action suit against the National Football League as well as three teams: the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, and Dolphins organizations for racial discrimination.
Kris and Brian talk about how racism is still entrenched in the NFL and other organizations, and how the odds are still heavily stacked against minorities. The duo also exchange thoughts about the role that race and compromise play in achieving success, particularly for minorities in the United States.

QUOTES
Kris: "I believe that in order to make change, you have to do drastic moves but it's gonna be at your expense. You are now suing a league of 32 owners, saying that you did wrong by me. But you wanna be a head coach. If nobody else opts into the class (action lawsuit), then his efforts are gonna be for naught, for one, and two, his dreams of being NFL head coach or any other franchise is dead."
Brian: "There is this racism or, what's the word, prejudice, that at this time, it's not in your face like it was back like in the 50s and 60s, where the gentleman was receiving derogatory slurs right to his face. It seems like now, it's masked by almost bureaucratic methods like the Rooney rule, but it's still here. So, with Mr. Flores, you think you're getting a shot, but the whole time it's just smoke and mirrors."
Kris: "If the Rooney Rule was instilled to help minority coaches coach teams, why is it every time a head coach hiring job happens, it's a white guy that either has no head coaching experience, or comes from college."
Brian: "If you're a white guy in the United States, working, you can just be a white guy in the United States working. The thing that always amazes me about minorities in the United States is that you also have to be extraordinarily well-versed in social issues related to your race. And almost like versed in sociology and history. Whereas, like a white guy. that's optional."
