New York, California Launch Probe of NFL, Citing Allegations of Harassment, Discrimination
New York Times report that cited more than 30 women who worked for the league who described “a stifling, deeply ingrained corporate culture that demoralized some female employees, drove some to quit in frustration and left many feeling brushed aside.”James and six other state’s attorneys general sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to express concerns about that report and called on the league to address allegations of workplace inequity, the AG’s announcement said. The NFL said it responded to that letter and was apparently surprised at the escalated investigation.
