NFL Investigating Giants Co-Owner Steve Tisch’s Ties to Jeffrey Epstein as New Details Emerge
As the NFL world turns its attention to the aftermath of Super Bowl 60, a different kind of spotlight is beginning to shine on New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch - and it’s one the league can’t afford to ignore.
Tisch’s name appeared in the latest release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. Initially, Tisch downplayed the nature of their relationship, describing it as a “brief association” that included emails about adult women, along with discussions about movies, philanthropy, and investments.
But newly surfaced reports suggest that the relationship may have been more involved than Tisch initially let on.
According to reporting by The Athletic, Tisch and Epstein first met in person after the Giants co-owner accepted an invitation to breakfast - a meeting that took place after Epstein had already been sued multiple times by victims of sexual abuse and had served a 13-month sentence under work-release conditions. At that point, he was already a registered Level 3 sex offender.
Over the following weeks and months, Epstein reportedly introduced Tisch to at least four women, some of whom were pursuing careers in acting or modeling. One of those women later emailed Epstein, saying “Steve” had “been so weird” and that she didn’t want to stay in contact. After that, Epstein reportedly stopped introducing women to Tisch.
The last known communication between the two came in August 2017, when Epstein invited Tisch to visit him.
All of this has prompted the NFL to take a closer look. Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the matter directly during a press conference ahead of the Super Bowl, saying the league will gather all relevant information before determining any potential action under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
“Absolutely, we will look at all the facts,” Goodell said. “We’ll look at the context of those and try to understand that.
We’ll look at how that falls under the [league’s personal conduct] policy. I think we’ll take one step at a time.
Let’s get the facts first.”
The Giants previously released a statement attempting to contain the fallout, but with new documents continuing to surface, the scrutiny around Tisch - and the league’s response - is only intensifying.
This isn’t just a PR issue for the Giants. It’s a test for the NFL’s commitment to accountability, especially when it involves ownership. The league has taken steps in recent years to enforce its personal conduct policy more consistently, but how it handles this situation will speak volumes.
