(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) NEW YORK - Fired Miami Dolphins Coach Brian Flores sued the NFL and three of its teams Tuesday, saying racist hiring practices by the league have left it racially segregated and managed like a plantation.The lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court sought class-action status and unspecified damages from the league, the Dolphins, the Denver Broncos and the New York Giants, along with unidentified individuals.Flores was fired last month by Miami after leading the Dolphins to a 24-25 record over three years.

They went 9-8 in their second straight winning season, but failed to make the playoffs during his tenure.The lawsuit said the firing of Flores was typical for Black coaches who are not given the latitude other coaches receive to succeed.

It noted that Flores led the Dolphins to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2003.The improvement came even though, the lawsuit contends, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross told Flores he would pay him $100,000 for every loss during the coach's first season because he wanted the club to "tank" so it could get the draft's top pick.The lawsuit alleged that Ross then pressured Flores to recruit a prominent quarterback in violation of the league's tampering rules.

Connor Ball's secret health battle - breathing struggle to severe panic attacks
Connor Ball has been impressing viewers across the country with his amazing skating capability on ITV's Dancing On Ice.Wowing the judges week on week with his courageous dance moves and his willingness to push himself further, the 25-year-old musician has certainly earned his place in this year's competition.But although he has gained legions of fans from his singing career, and his presence on Dancing on Ice, Connor - who makes up one-fourth of The Vamps- has previously battled with panic attacks, depression and generalised anxiety order.Daily Star has taken a deeper look inside the star's health battle and how he has learnt to overcome it.In 2018, Connor appeared on ITV's This Morning and spoke to therapists Nik and Eva Speakman regarding his crippling fear of touring.Speaking openly to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Connor revealed: "I suffer with generalised anxiety order, panic attacks and depression as well."In the band, it has affected me because I don’t go to as many things as I would like to or should do. I would like to be going out and seeing more people."When the TV therapists dug a bit deeper, it became evident that the musician felt uneasy when he had to travel to different countries to tour and the problems derived from when he was a lot younger.Talking about a terrifying incident that happened to him in Greece, he recalled: "I remember when we were on holiday and I had to swim under a big rock to get to a beach and I got stuck and I was like ‘I am not going to be able to breathe'."He also spoke candidly about an experience that left him shaken when he was six years old.The star continued: "When I was six I was in Thailand and there were a load of monkey nuts on the table.
