NFLPA Elects David White Interim Executive Director Amid Union Scandal

David White, former executive director of SAG-AFTRA and current CEO of 3CG Ventures, has been elected interim executive director of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) following the resignation of Lloyd Howell amid financial misconduct allegations. White's appointment was decided in a player-led vote involving representatives from all 32 NFL teams after a thorough interview process. Known for his extensive labor experience, including leading SAG-AFTRA through significant contract negotiations and improving its financial health, White aims to restore trust and stability in the NFLPA during a critical period marked by league expansion plans that raise player safety concerns. NFLPA President Jalen Reeves-Maybin expressed confidence in White's commitment to prioritize players' health, safety, and financial well-being. A comprehensive search for a permanent executive director will soon commence, continuing to be player-led. White's leadership is expected to bring credibility and steady guidance as the union navigates internal challenges and external pressures from the NFL.
