Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has issued a subpoena to the National Football League (NFL), as his office investigates whether the organization has committed potential civil rights violations related to its Rooney Rule and other employment practices, policies, and programs.
Mr Uthmeier, who had previously threatened possible enforcement actions against the league in March if it did not suspend the 23-year-old rule, sent the subpoena along with a letter to NFL executive vice president and attorney Ted Ullyot on Wednesday.
