stadium. Ross announced his intention to keep Bill Parcells as the director of football operations. Since buying the Dolphins, Ross has brought in Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony, Venus Williams, Tony Chesta and Serena Williams, as minority owners of the team. In 2013, Ross made a push to obtain multimillion-dollar public funding from the state of Florida and Miami-Dade taxpayers to help renovate Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins' home field. After this effort failed in the Florida legislature, a team spokesman said that Ross did not intend to move the team but that under an eventual future owner the Dolphins' future in the Miami area is bleak. Although Ross said he intended to keep the Dolphins "in town", there was speculation in 2013 that the team might seek to move out of Miami to a nearby locale such as Palm Beach. On March 27, 2017, Ross cast the only "no" vote in the NFL owners' 31–1 "yes" decision on the Oakland Raiders request for approval to move to Las Vegas starting in the 2020 season.

The suit also alleges that Ross set up Flores to meet (against league rules) with a “prominent quarterback” on another team, who was not named in the suit. As of February 2, 2022, The NFL publicly denied all allegations against Ross and all others listed in the lawsuit, releasing in an official statement "We will defend against these claims, which are without merit." On August 2, 2022, it was announced that
