What is Tisch saying about the entire thing
"We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments," Tisch, in a statement releaed on Friday (Jan 30), said about his relationship with Epstein. "I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with," he added.
What is NFL saying about Tisch and his name in Epstein files
As per the league policy, "Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from ‘conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in’ the NFL. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime in a court of law. We are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the NFL, and is lawful."
Simply put, NFL can very well take action against Tisch for just being named in the Epstein files and having a relationship with the sex offender, who committed suicide in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a month after being convicted.
NFL president, Roger Goddell, during his pre-Super Bowl press conference on Monday (Feb 2), said: "We are going to look at all the facts. We are going to look at the context of those and try to understand that, we will look at how that falls under the policy. But let’s get the facts first.
