The two attorneys general have issued subpoenas to relevant figures in the investigation, which will evaluate the culture of the workplace in the league.<\/p>\n<h3>Standing Up Against Discrimination<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia will not tolerate any form of discrimination,\u201d said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. \u201cWe have serious concerns about the NFL\u2019s role in creating an extremely hostile and detrimental work environment. No company is too big or popular to avoid being held responsible for their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo person should ever have to endure harassment, discrimination, or objectification in the workplace,\u201d added New York Attorney General Letitia James. \u201cNo matter how powerful or influential, no institution is above the law, and we will ensure the NFL is held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Reports of Discrimination and Retaliation<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/two-states-investigating-nfl-over-workplace-bias-and-harassment-allegations\/\" title=\"2 states probe NFL for workplace bias and harassment claims.\">attorneys general cited<\/a> a 2022 New York Times report of 30 former employees alleging discrimination and retaliation after reporting to the league HR department, along with other reports as the impetus for opening the inquiry. They also referenced the House Oversight Committee investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and fostering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-gotta-wear-heels-staffers-describe-the-cuomo-way-of-working-for-nys-governor\/\" title=\"\u2018You Gotta Wear Heels\u2019: Staffers Describe \u2018The Cuomo Way\u2019 Of Working For NY\u2019s Governor\">toxic work environment<\/a> in the workplace of the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<h3>Accountability for All<\/h3>\n<p>The committee conducted several interviews for its investigation, which slammed the Commanders and its owner, Dan Snyder, for giving evasive answers and misleading information during his testimony in July 2022. There are four NFL teams headquartered in California and New York: the Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Chargers, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Buffalo Bills, along with the league headquarters located in Manhattan. The New York Giants and New York Jets are headquartered in New Jersey despite having New York in their name.<\/p>\n<h3>Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p>The NFL is a powerful institution, but it is not above the law. The attorneys general of California and New York are taking a stand against discrimination and harassment in the workplace, and they will ensure that the NFL is held accountable for its actions. No person should ever have to endure a hostile work environment, and it is time for the NFL to take responsibility for its culture and make meaningful changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attorneys general of California and New York announced an investigation into &#8220;allegations of employment discrimination and a hostile work environment at the National Football League&#8221; on Thursday.
