Without improvement, the attorneys general warned of potential legal action. The letter outlines concerns of gender discrimination ranging from the NFL’s treatment of women who have experienced domestic violence to the hiring and promotion of women in NFL offices. The letter was signed by Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, where the league is headquartered, as well as the attorneys general of Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington State. “The NFL must do better—pink jerseys are not a replacement for equal treatment and full inclusion of women in the workplace," the attorneys generals wrote. Last month, the NFL changed what is known as the "Rooney Rule," designed to ensure more opportunities for women and racial minorities.

The attorneys general of six states have written to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell , expressing concern over the league’s treatment of female employees and admonishing him for a lack of improvement to the league’s workplace culture.

NFL NFL owners on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, voted 29-3 to permanently approve a proposal that will guarantee each team in a post-season game a possession in overtime. (Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images, File)PALM BEACH, Fla. — NFL owners on Tuesday voted 29-3 to permanently approve a proposal that will guarantee each team in a post-season game a possession in overtime. According to Sports Illustrated, the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins were the only three franchises to vote against the post-season overtime measure. Per the new rule, the second possession of overtime would extend beyond the initial 15-minute period, if necessary, but should Team No. Since the 2012 adoption of the current opening-possession touchdown rule, teams winning the coin toss have won 50% of the time, ESPN reported, citing league data.

The new move will place less emphasis on the result of the coin toss.

NFL owners voted to amend the playoff overtime rule to allow both teams to possess the ball regardless of whether a touchdown is scored on the first possession.

Concerned that the coin toss to begin the extra period has too much impact on postseason game results, the owners voted Tuesday to approve a proposal presented by the Colts and Eagles. Beginning this season, if the team possessing the ball first in overtime scores a touchdown on that series, the opponent still gets a possession. The Titans had recommended that both teams possess the ball in overtime unless the team receiving the kickoff scores a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. But the owners, perhaps believing the Tennessee suggestion was too gimmicky, went with the other proposal. Since 2010, when that rule was instituted for the playoffs, seven of the 12 overtime games have been won on an opening possession touchdown, and 10 of 12 have been won by the team that won the coin toss.

Beginning this season, all 32 clubs must employ a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority to serve as an offensive assistant coach. The person will receive a one-year contract and work closely with the head coach and offensive staff to gain experience. In recent years, head coaches have predominantly had offensive backgrounds. Overall, including women in all Rooney Rule requirements is designed to address under-representation of women in key football positions. There currently are five minority head coaches in the NFL.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A lawsuit claiming that the sugar industry’s controlled crop burns are dangerous to nearby residents in Florida was dropped on Friday. The class-action lawsuit was filed in June 2019, claiming the burns reduce property values and compromise air quality with toxic carcinogens. One of the companies named in the lawsuit was U.S. Sugar Corporation, the largest producer of sugar cane in the United States by volume. Company spokesperson Judy Sanchez said sugarcane farmers have maintained from the start that the lawsuit was without merit. U.S. Sugar recently released three years of air quality data from public and private monitors located throughout its farming communities.

Classified items were among the 15 boxes of White House records retrieved from former President Donald Trump's home, Mar-a-Lago, the National Archives said.

The National Archives recently had to retrieve 15 boxes of presidential records from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach and now has asked the Justice Department to investigate Trump’s handling of White House records, the Washington Post reported. The 15 boxes included correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, former President Barack Obama’s letter to him and that infamous “Sharpie” map about the track of Hurricane Dorian, among other items, some of the information potentially classified. Trump advisers told the Post that there was no “nefarious intent.”

The records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago should have been handed over to the National Archives once Trump left office as required by the Presidential Records Act.

Jeffrey-Epstein-Maxwell-Trial In this sketch, a prosecution detective, left, shows a massage table recovered from Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach Beach home to witness and former Palm Beach Police Officer Gregory Parkinson, right, during testimony in the sex-abuse trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Friday Dec. 3, 2021, in New York. A witness who said the abuse started when she was 14 described seeing a massage table in a “massage room” that police say was in the same location where they recovered one at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida, mansion in 2005. Maxwell, 59, denies the allegations against her, and her lawyers say prosecutors are going after her because they can’t try Epstein, who committed suicide in jail before he could go to trial. A lawyer for Maxwell sought to discredit Alessi — who worked for Epstein from 1990 to 2002 — by confronting him with a deposition from a civil case that the defense says was inconsistent with his trial testimony. Alessi claimed on Friday that none of the many young women who visited the Florida home alerted him to any misconduct.

A folding massage table used by financier Jeffrey Epstein was carried into a Manhattan courtroom and set up in front of a jury on Friday to bolster allegations he teamed up with British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell to sexually exploit underage victims.

A federal court in the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, has permanently enjoined four Palm Beach-area tax return preparers from preparing federal income tax returns for others and from owning or operating any tax return business in the future. In issuing an injunction against Marcus Alty; Jeanait Mathurin; Prestige Tax Services Inc. (dba Just Tax Services LLC); and Excellent Tax Services “LLC” (dba Excellent Tax Services), the court found that the defendants prepared tax returns making false or fraudulent claims for the American Opportunity Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, often based on fabricated business income and expenses.

In the past decade, the Tax Division has obtained injunctions against hundreds of unscrupulous tax preparers. If you believe that one of the enjoined persons or businesses may be violating an injunction, please contact the Tax Division with details.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, has been partially closed after staff members tested positive for the coronavirus. An email sent to members said that service had been temporarily suspended in the club’s dining room and at its beach club because some staff members had recently tested positive. A senior Brazilian official tested positive last year after spending time at Mar-a-Lago, where he posed for a photo next to Trump and attended a family birthday party. The club in Palm Beach has been a flurry of activity in recent weeks, hosting events and fundraisers, including one to benefit rescue dogs.

Town Manager Kirk Blouin said in an email Thursday that Palm Beach is examining its options and the matter might be discussed at the town council's February meeting.

PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Donald Trump's prized Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is potentially sitting directly in the path of Hurricane Dorian, which is forecast to become an extremely destructive storm. The resort, which is currently closed for the summer, is on the wealthy barrier island of Palm Beach. During the cooler months, Trump visits the property frequently and has held several high-level meetings there with world leaders. The National Hurricane Center's most recent track for Dorian places Mar-a-Lago in the crosshairs of a possible Category 4 storm with winds of almost 140 mph (225 kph). Still, the resort dates from the 1920s and has seen more than its share of hurricanes in the past.
