Tom Flores Full Hall of Fame Speech | 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame | NFL

As a Broncos fan, Tom Flores is just one of those rivals you have to tip your hat to. He killed us everytime

Tom Flores, Californian and Chicano. Mr. Cool, always calm and making the right decisions under pressure. Long over due honor. Four super bowl rings. Two as head coach, one as an assistant and one as a back up QB. Not bad for a grape picker.

“Not to bad for a couple of grape pickers” is the most powerful line Ive heard from a Mexican American as my self. My great grandparents immigrated from Mexico to Indiana where they would pick cherries for cents on the dollar. They would tell stories of how disrespectful people would be towards them saying go back to your own country and calling them racist names to try and demoralize them. I am proud being a Mexican living in the best country in the world . I just wish sometimes people like Tom Flores and my grandparents would get more respect for their character instead of the being treated indifferently because the color of their skin and their accent and last name being different…

Not a Raider Nation member, but this is long overdue. Tom not being in the hall was close to a crime, if not outright one

Tom's enshrinement matters a lot to tens of millions of fans of us who watched him win Superbowls in Oakland and Los Angeles with class. Decades later, it still matters.

Raider Nation baby. About time he gets in the hall of fame congrats Tom Flores one of the best coach we ever had.

I'm 56 yrs old, a huge football fan and loved watching the Raiders back in the 70's and 80's, especially when they played the Steelers. Man, football was the greatest back then. While my favorite team wasn't the Raiders, I respected them just the same. Loved watching Ken Stabler as well, he was a great QB and then I saw Howie Long. I miss the old days of the NFL, too many rules and changes now but the memories will always be there. I got teary eyed when it was announced Tom was going in the hall. Tom should've been inducted into the HOF a long time before now. I'm glad he's finally inducted. Congratulations, Coach, it's well deserved but long overdue.

This was great! Seeing Tom Flores get up out of his chair to see his bust ... that would bring a tear to a glass eye. LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue ... Tom should have went in AT LEAST 25 years ago!!!

Not a raiders fan but much respect to coach Flores, one of the best to do it.🇲🇽🇺🇸

Coach Flores is one of the most deserving to ever enter the HOF. Raider Nation stand proud!

I think Tom Flores might have had the most entertaining speech for a 84 year old man that has to go to sleep at 9 lol he’s pretty funny 😄 🇺🇸🇲🇽

Coach Flores and Jim Plunkett are the reasons why I will always be a Raiders fan. I was an LA Rams fan as a kid before the Raiders moved to LA in 1981. When I saw two men that looked like me wearing that Silver and Black, I was an instant fan. They brought a Super Bowl Championship to LA in 1983, that team is my all time Raider team. Coach Flores, you have no idea how you impacted my life. RN4L...

About time! I'm a Mexican American from Central California. I grew up 30 min from where Tom grew up. This shows that us Latino men don't have to break our backs in in fields or doing hard labor- not that there's anything wrong with it. But we can do more! It's always good to see a successful Latino we can look up to!

Wow . When he said about not bad for being grapes pickers. That brings you down to tears. What a great human being and humble man Coach Flores is.. all respects

84 and forever years old and still with a great sense of humor.

Thank you Tom , as a Brazilian fan of the raiders ,being from South America, you inspire me , first latino QB with a super bowl , first latino Coach and SB winner 2 times and one as assistant coach , amazing record as a coach , you got me crying , big inspiration and all the love for you , raider nation is proud and we thank you all you did for us!

As a 49er fan... All I have to say is... Its about damn time this man got into the hall. Waaaaaay overdue. Congrats coach!!!

Once a raider, ALWAYS A RAIDER!!

This had been long over due. Coach Flores is the 1st Latino QB in the NFL. The 1st Latino to win the Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

He killed it tonight, I’m happy for Mr. Flores well deserved & GO RAIDERS 🤘🏽
