State AGs team up in joint investigation over discrimination in NFL's corporate offices. (via The ReidOut Blog)
New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, both Democrats, say they are not targeting any of the league’s 32 teams that take up so much of the country’s cultural space. Instead, their probe is focused on the league itself, specifically its corporate offices in New York and California.
The investigation is in response to what Bonta called a “robust public record” that points to a “disturbing and concerning set of allegations about gender and racial discrimination in the NFL.” That includes lawsuits filed by former employees, congressional hearings last year into the workplace practices of the Washington Commanders and a 2022 New York Times article detailing allegations of gender discrimination by more than 30 former female NFL employees.
The league said it would cooperate with the probe and called the allegations “entirely inconsistent with the NFL’s values and practices.”The investigation follows through on warnings that James and five other state AGs laid out last year
