Steve Tisch is back in the New York Giants’ draft room—again. The team’s co-owner, who recently transferred his ownership interest to a trust for his children, was present last night and again tonight, standing front and center as the team made its selections.
His return comes amid renewed scrutiny over his past associations. Tisch appeared in newly released emails from the Jeffrey Epstein files, which included messages exchanged with the disgraced and deceased sex offender. The communications contained inappropriate language, prompting questions from multiple media outlets about whether Tisch engaged in improper exchanges with Epstein, including the arrangement of dates in exchange for unspecified favors.
Despite these concerns, the NFL has not investigated Tisch. Commissioner Roger Goodell recently defended the league’s inaction, stating that Tisch is no longer an owner and thus not subject to the same scrutiny as active owners or players.
However, Tisch remains the Giants’ chairman of the board, a position that suggests his influence extends beyond mere ownership. The NFL has yet to take further action, leaving many to question whether the league’s standards apply equally to all.
This is not the first time the NFL’s handling of owner conduct has come under fire. While the league insists that owners are held to a higher standard, repeated incidents have shown that the bar for billionaire owners remains far lower than for players.
