The NFL Players Association continues to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.
On Tuesday, the NFLPA placed one of its top lawyers on paid administrative leave after multiple employees filed complaints with the union's human resources department, five sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.
Heather McPhee, associate general counsel for the NFLPA since 2009, was the subject of complaints alleging her failure to follow her supervisors' directions. That was in addition to other allegations of bullying colleagues and disrupting the union's work environment, according to ESPN.
It comes just months after her allegations helped prompt a federal investigation into the financial dealings of the NFLPA and the Major League Baseball Players Association in relation to OneTeam Partners, their $2 billion licensing company.
Sources told ESPN that Matt Curtin, the head of NFL Players Inc., the licensing arm of the union, and a member of the OneTeam board, was among those who filed complaints.
The news comes on the heels of a turbulent few weeks for the NFLPA, which has just gone through the resignation of former executive director, Lloyd Howell Jr. on July 17 after potential collusion concerns surfaced in a settlement with the league.
David White was hired as the interim executive director on Aug. 3, seemingly quieting the noise surrounding the NFLPA until it was revealed McPhee was placed on leave just 11 days later.
