Melanie Coburn and Ana Nunez, two of the former Washington Football Team employees who made allegations that led to a workplace misconduct investigation of the organization, appeared at the NFL owners meetings in New York City on Tuesday to present an open letter calling on the league to release findings of the investigation to the public.
“The NFL should not be allowed to encourage employees to come forward at great personal and professional risk to speak to investigators, only to sweep the results of that investigation under the rug,” the letter read.
The letter—presented to the members of the league’s social justice working group—added that Washington “cultivated and tolerate an environment rife with sexual harassment, discrimination and abuse of its female employees.”
Coburn and Nunez said they believe the investigation conducted was an “important step” in addressing widespread harassment against women in the NFL but failing to publicly disclose the results shows the NFL is “more interested in protecting wealthy owners and preserving misogynist and abusive structures than in reckoning with its cultural problems.”
