Lloyd Howell steps down as executive director of NFL Players Association

On Thursday night, Lloyd Howell stepped down immediately from his position as the head of the NFL Players Association.
Howell cited that his leadership had become a distraction amid recent controversies, including reports of a 2011 lawsuit against him for sexual discrimination.
An ESPN report disclosed that two player representatives who supported Howell were unaware of his 2011 sexual discrimination lawsuit, and it also highlighted his part-time consulting role with the Carlyle Group, which is connected to NFL franchise ownership.
Howell expressed his satisfaction with the progress made at the NFLPA during his two-year tenure and mentioned he will continue supporting the players from the sidelines enthusiastically.
His resignation is intended to help the NFLPA concentrate on supporting its players as the new season approaches and to keep athletes central to the future of football.
