Former NFL Players Association executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. resigned after expense reports revealed he and union staff visited Atlanta's Magic City strip club during an NFLPA summit, spending over $2,400, including cash withdrawals, under the guise of a 'Player Engagement Event.' Howell, who had recently come under scrutiny for confidentiality agreements related to league arbitration decisions, stepped down to avoid distraction from union work amid ongoing controversies.
