David White named NFLPA's interim executive director

The NFL Players Association named David White, the former head of Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, as its new interim executive director, the union announced Sunday night. The announcement comes after Lloyd Howell Jr. stepped down on July 17 following controversies surrounding his leadership. Advertisement 'David has spent much of his career fighting for collectively bargained rights in the labor movement and is committed to putting players first in all the union does,' NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin wrote in a statement Sunday. 'We are confident that he will inspire solidarity and provide the necessary stability during this period of transition.' Reeves-Maybin said that the NFLPA plans to soon begin a search process for a permanent executive director. A high-ranking executive in the NFL offices told The Athletic last month that the league did not anticipate that whoever was named the interim executive director would be promoted to the full-time role.
