When the N.F.L.’s 32 team owners met in a Midtown Manhattan hotel Tuesday for their quarterly discussion of league business, two women formerly employed by the Washington Football Team interjected with their own agenda item.
Melanie Coburn, a former cheerleader and marketing director, and Ana Nunez, who worked in sales, delivered a two-page letter that implored the league’s five-member Social Justice Working Group to release the results of the 10-month investigation into what they called “the sexist and misogynistic culture” at the team. The group is made up of five team owners.
In July, the N.F.L. fined Washington $10 million after its yearlong investigation into the rampant culture of sexual harassment perpetuated by managers and executives at the club under the ownership of Daniel Snyder.
