State attorneys general in New York and California on Thursday launched a joint investigation into allegations that female employees of the NFL have been subjected to gender discrimination and harassment.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, both Democrats, said the investigation will examine the NFL's workplace culture and claims made in several pending lawsuits that the league violated federal and state laws banning gender discrimination, including equal pay laws.

James and Bonta said they issued subpoenas to the NFL on Thursday seeking relevant information.

obviously we will need to know the details.  Other details I found important from the article

The investigation focuses on the league's corporate offices, not specific teams or players.

One former NFL executive, Theresa Locklear, who held the position of director of business intelligence and optimization, told the Times that after the Rice video became public, managers were told to speak to their staffs about the video and the league's response to it.

Locklear said that when she met with her team, a male employee, Aaron Jones, argued that Rice's fiancée was partly at fault because she had egged Rice on, and other men on the call seemed to agree.

Jones told the Times that he had never spoken to Locklear about Rice and would never have argued that a woman was to blame for her assault.
