One of those lawsuits was filed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/brian-flores-alleges-match-fixing-by-owner-of-the-miami-dolphins\/\">ex-Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores<\/a> in Feb 2023. Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and 3 NFL teams alleging that racism was rampant in the NFL\u2019s hiring practices. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorneys General Rob Bonta<\/strong>, of California and Letitia James, of New York who are both democrats decided to use their legal authority to get the NFL to provide information regarding racial and gender discrimination, harassment and gender pay disparities. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fUT4Hs2zLj0?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The investigation will not target any specific NFL teams or players but rather look at the NFL work culture as a whole in New York and California. James and Bonta said that they decided to launch an investigation as both of them had serious concerns over the NFL\u2019s hostile and dangerous work environment.<\/p>\n<p>This investigation does not come entirely as a surprise as over a year ago, a number of attorney generals including <strong>Letitia James<\/strong> had written a letter to <strong>NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell<\/strong> to address similar allegations made against the NFL that was published in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/02\/08\/sports\/football\/nfl-women-culture.html\">report in the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>NFL Denies All Allegations And Confirms Cooperation <\/h2>\n<p>The NFL released a statement in response to the investigation launched by attorney generals in New York and California and denied all of the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the NFL said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These allegations are entirely inconsistent with the NFL\u2019s values and practices. The NFL offices are places where employees of all genders, races and backgrounds thrive. We do not tolerate discrimination in any form<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The statement went on to say that <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The NFL is committed to ensuring all employees of the league are respected, treated fairly, and have equitable pay and access to developmental opportunities. Our policies are intended not only to comply with all applicable laws but to foster a workplace free from harassment, intimidation and discrimination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Attorney Generals in NY and CA have launched an investigation into the NFL The NFL is being investigated over workplace harassment and discrimination claims NFL denies allegations and confirms will cooperate fully with investigation The National Football League (NFL) is being investigated for workplace harassment, discrimination, and other violations in New York and California.
