Female employees accused NFL for sex discrimination and harassment

State attorney generals in New York and California announced on Thursday that they’ve launched a joint investigation into allegations that female employees of the NFL  have been subjected to sex discrimination and harassment.

General Rob Bonta and General Letitia James said the investigation will examine the NFL’s workplace culture and claims made in several pending lawsuit.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement that the allegations of bias and harassment were inconsistent with the league’s values and practices, but that it would cooperate with the investigation.

“The NFL is committed to ensuring all employees of the league are respected, treated fairly, and have equitable pay and access to developmental opportunities,” McCarthy said.
