In a hilarious new turn, it was revealed on Friday that disgraced former NFLPA head Lloyd Howell Jr. used union funds for excursions to strip clubs.
In a new report from ESPN , the outlet revealed that an NFLPA-appointed investigator looking into Howell Jr.'s questionable decisions as leader of the union received some interesting expense reports and documents recently. The reports and receipts showed proof that Howell Jr. used money from the association to fund nights out at multiple strip clubs.

An NFLPA-funded jaunt last year was discovered when a union finance worker noticed the nearly $800 bill he charged for a car service. The cost wasn't for a long drive. It was for the driver to wait eight hours at an address in Miami Gardens. The worker then looked up the location and discovered it was Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami Gardens, FL. A 76,000-square-foot strip club that bills itself as the world's largest gentleman's club that is "full nude and No. 1 rated."
A year later, expense reports showed he and two NFLPA employees used union funds for a trip to an Atlanta strip club, Magic City. The visit that occurred during the union's summit in February saw the trio allegedly charge over $2,000 on NFLPA accounts.

"According to the expense report, the purpose of the strip club outing: 'Player Engagement Event to support & grow our Union,'" ESPN reported.

The employees reviewing the report flagged the reports and receipts to the travel department for further review. The head of the department then forwarded the documents union lawyers for a deeper look at, according to sources the outlet spoke with.
Howell Jr. abruptly resigned from his post this week following weeks of criticism over his leadership, as well as a serious conflict of interest. The former attorney was working as a part-time consultant for the Carlyle Group, an NFL-approved private equity firm seeking minority ownership in NFL franchises.
