Roger Goodell: NFL will continue to engage with Florida's attorney general
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is challenging the NFL’s diversity initiatives, issuing an investigative subpoena and alleging the league’s website revisions violated the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated the league’s programs are lawful and positive, emphasizing ongoing engagement with Uthmeier to ensure compliance and transparency.
- Despite efforts to include diverse candidates in coaching and General Manager interviews, final hiring decisions by teams do not reflect the player population’s demographics.
- Uthmeier, appointed to his current position and running for election in 2026, may be using the issue for political visibility, with the outcome of his campaign yet to be determined.
