The letter is little more than one typed page, mostly asking for an audience with Goodell. But it could force the league into making the next move in what has become a sticky public-relations battle. The letter was sent to Steven Hurd, a New York lawyer at the firm Proskauer who often represents the NFL. The four cheerleaders would discuss both the “unlawful” and the “lawful, but egregious” employment practices pervasive in professional cheerleading, according to the letter. If the NFL accepts it, there is still no guarantee that the meeting would be fruitful, or that it would greatly improve conditions for cheerleaders.
