It comes just over a year since the NFL was warned by a coalition of six attorneys general to take 'swift action' to improve conditions for female employees.
An investigation has been launched into allegations of employment discrimination and a hostile work environment at the National Football League , according to a joint statement from New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The Attorneys General on Thursday issued subpoenas to the NFL seeking relevant information, the statement said."No person should ever have to endure harassment, discrimination, or objectification in the workplace," said NY Attorney General James. "No matter how powerful or influential, no institution is above the law, and we will ensure the NFL is held accountable."
The Times reported at the time: "They described a stifling, deeply ingrained corporate culture that demoralized some female employees, drove some to quit in frustration and left many feeling brushed aside." NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told CNN in April 2022 that the organization had "made great strides" over the years but acknowledged that it, like many organizations, "has more work to do."
