The letter also states that some former female employees have since learned that there are no records of their complaints of gender discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of this is entirely unacceptable and potentially unlawful. The N.F.L. must do better\u2014pink jerseys are not a replacement for equal treatment and full inclusion of women in the workplace.
