NFL gets a lot of Female Complaints

The NFL is a men's football business, but somehow women think that they should control the action.

The NY Times has a long article with female gripes:

Promised a New Culture, Women Say the N.F.L. Instead Pushed Them Aside ...

Exactly what happened between the woman, who was involved in the production of the show, and the man, Mark Quenzel, the N.F.L.’s senior vice president and head of content, remains in dispute, and the league insists he did not push her. ...

Some of the women interviewed by The Times spoke on condition of anonymity because they said they were bound by nondisclosure agreements or feared that their careers would be sabotaged if they went public. ...

Locklear said that during the meeting, the male employee, Aaron Jones, who worked in the Culver City, Calif., office, argued that Rice’s fiancĂ©e shared culpability by egging on Rice [in 2014]. Jones replayed the video to the group, Locklear said, pointing to key moments that he said supported his claim. ...

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. ...

Another Black woman who worked at the N.F.L. for five years said that the league was mostly concerned about making money and maintaining its “overall whiteness,” and that women were never prioritized when decisions were made.

Why is any of this news? The 2014 incident was on a player's private time, did not result in a criminal conviction, and the supposed victim married the player. Why is it any of anyone's business? Why would anyone bring it up today?

The women who violated their nondisclosure agreements are dishonest.

All I get out of this is that the NY Times hates pro football, and publishes a hit piece before the Super Bowl.
