The National Football League was urged by six state attorneys general to improve working conditions for female employees following allegations that the organization is a hostile workplace for the women.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should take “swift action” in response to reports that dozens of former employees described a “pervasive culture of sexism and widespread workplace discrimination,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement on Wednesday.
“With 1,100 employees at the NFL, 37% of whom are women and 30% of whom are people of color, it is imperative that you ensure that all employees are treated equally, fairly and with the dignity they deserve,” the AGs of New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota said in a joint letter to Goodell.
