NFL Investigates Ties between Giants Co-owner Steve Tisch and Convicted Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein
The National Football League (NFL) is conducting an investigation into the connections between New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to reports, Epstein's emails revealed over 400 instances where Tisch was mentioned in conversations with Epstein, including arrangements for him to meet various women.
These emails, which were made public last week, show a complex web of interactions between the two men. In one instance, Epstein offered to connect Tisch with a Russian woman, and Tisch replied with a casual "Is she fun?" Just days later, he asked about another woman from Tahiti, inquiring whether she was a "working girl." Epstein responded with a noncommittal "Never."
Another email revealed that Epstein had arranged for Tisch to attend an event involving one of his alleged victims. In the message, Epstein joked that having her cry helped convince her not to return to Ukraine.
Tisch has denied any wrongdoing, stating that he had a brief association with Epstein in which they exchanged emails about adult women and other topics. However, he admitted to regretting associating with Epstein, given his later conviction on sex trafficking charges.
The NFL's personal conduct policy could potentially lead to disciplinary action against Tisch, even if there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The league has previously taken steps against team owners and executives who have engaged in behavior deemed "conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in" the NFL.
Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the league would investigate the matter before determining whether disciplinary measures are necessary. "We're going to look at all the facts," he said. "We'll try to understand the context, and then we'll decide how it falls under the policy."
Tisch's ties to Epstein raise concerns about his behavior and potential impact on the NFL. The league's investigation will likely shed more light on the extent of their relationship and whether Tisch's actions align with its values.
