The NFL’s Rooney Rule has long been a topic of conversation, even debate. The state of Florida is among the most recent to weigh in with state Attorney General James Uthmeier saying Wednesday he has issued an investigative subpoena to the NFL regarding the rule. Uthmeier, who threatened possible enforcement actions against the league in March if it didn’t suspend the 23-year-old rule, sent the subpoena along with a letter to NFL executive vice president and attorney Ted Ullyot.
