NFL Network has suspended the analysts Marshall Faulk, Heath Evans and Ike Taylor “pending an investigation” into allegations of sexual harassment and assault, the network announced late Monday.
The allegations were made in a lawsuit by a former NFL Network employee, Jami Cantor, who sued NFL Enterprises, the league’s media arm that operates the network, in Los Angeles Superior Court in October, alleging age and sex discrimination, sexual harassment and hostile work environment, and wrongful termination, among other complaints.
Eric Weinberger, the president of the Bill Simmons Media Group and a former NFL Network executive, was suspended by the media group as a result of allegations made about him in the lawsuit.
“These are very serious and disturbing allegations that we were made aware of today,” a spokesman for the Bill Simmons Media Group said in a statement. “We are placing Eric on leave indefinitely until we have a better understanding of what transpired during his time at the N.F.L., and we will conduct our own internal investigation.”
Cantor worked as a wardrobe stylist for the network from 2006 until she was fired in October 2016. She filed an amended complaint on Monday that more fully laid out the allegations of sexual harassment and assault against the three analysts, all former N.F.L. players.
In the complaint, Cantor says that Faulk, a Hall of Fame running back, asked personal questions about her sex life, fondled her and pulled out his genitals while demanding oral sex; that Evans, a former fullback, sent nude pictures and propositioned her; and that Taylor, a former cornerback, sent her a video that showed him masturbating. Cantor said that Weinberger, who left the network in 2015, groped her and put his crotch against her.

It just keeps getting worse for the BLM/NFL thug League don’t it? Now even ex players rolling down hill.
What is the color of those involved?
My goodness...when is this gonna stop?????
when women quit wearing tight skirts and pants and blouses showing off their boobs
Another “non-important” (but only to himself) speaks out. Considering who those people are, the accusations are probably true.
These guys don’t need the money. Hope the suspensions are with pay. When cleared(that is if) I would publicly tell th employer to go f itself.
This sounds like a “corporate culture” issue.
She may become a very wealthy woman soon.
Were these Warren Sapps replacements?
The local radio in the Philly area mentioned Donovan Mcnabb as being in trouble.
Then receive graphic videos, and the victim makes no mention of them... for over a year??
You see folks, I'm starting to question some of these allegations as simple "'#Me Too'; how can I cash in on this?" This is the case of footballers and the like. Fact is, there's always a herd of females that will do do whatever to land active and retired players. They didn't need to goof off in the workplace like this unless...
... there's another side to the story.
Perhaps we should ask why she was FIRED in the first place before jumping to conclusions.
NFL....”NATIONAL FELON’S LEAGUE”
