Congressman speaks out after requesting NFL emails on Washington Football Team, Jon Gruden investigation

One member of Congress who sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking for “all documents and communications” regarding its investigation into the Washington Football Team and Jon Gruden spoke out on Friday, and said he believes the scandals already brought to light are just the beginning.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) joined Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-New York) on Thursday in asking Goodell to turn over the documents. Krishnamoorthi told ESPN on Friday that he believes Gruden’s emails are the “tip of the iceberg.”

"The way they handle issues of race and gender and the way they treat their employees really influences the way society handles those very issues," Krishnamoorthi said, via ESPN.
