The National Football League opted not to accept $1 settlement proposals from two former cheerleaders who filed gender-discrimination complaints against the league before Friday's deadline.
John Branch of the New York Times reported the NFL did reach out to Sara Blackwell, an attorney for Bailey Davis and Kristan Ware, cheerleaders who previously worked for the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins, respectively, about a potential discussion focused on improving workplace conditions.
"I'm grateful for this letter, and I do believe that this is a good-faith effort by the NFL," Blackwell said.
