“We all love football, but if you work there every day, you learn it is not a place you feel good about.'
Alissa Leeds, a digital media reporting analyst who left the N.F.L. in 2019 in disgust at its internal response to high profile accusations of domestic violence against its players.
In the last week alone, former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores, who is Black and Hispanic, sued the league for racial discrimination in its hiring practices, and two former employees of the newly renamed Washington Commanders told Congress that the team’s owner, Daniel Snyder, had placed his hand on a female employee’s thigh at a staff dinner and hosted a work event where team executives hired prostitutes.
Theresa Locklear, the league’s director of business intelligence and optimization, could not bring herself to watch the video of Rice hitting his fiancée the day it became public in September 2014. The league rolled out the program in late 2014. But sessions got off to an uncomfortable start when Dwight Hollier, a former pro linebacker who worked in the player engagement department, introduced himself by saying, “I used to hit people for a living.”
As a result, the number of women at the vice president rank or higher grew to 31 in 2015, from 21 the year before, while the number of people of color at that level rose to 21, from 14, over the same period. In November 2018, a video surfaced showing Kansas City running back Kareem Hunt shoving a woman, then kicking her when she was on the ground. The woman assaulted did not press charges.
Hunt was suspended for eight games in March 2019, one month after he was signed by the Cleveland Browns. According to a video obtained by the Times, Jones said there are “unbelievable gentlemen” in the Cowboys organization who “are afraid to be in a meeting by themselves with another woman, and that hurts us.”Some women noted the dissonance of being advised on workplace advancement by relatives of two of the league’s most powerful men.It was the next year that Quenzel, the senior vice president, argued with a woman helping to organize the Super Bowl halftime show in Miami Gardens, Florida.
