National Football League cheerleaders are calling on the NFL to release its full report into workplace culture after allegations surfaced that coaches had secretly distributed nude photos of them by email.

The emails, first reported by the New York Times Monday, were allegedly sent by then-ESPN commentator Jon Gruden to then Washington Football Team General Manager Bruce Allen (who had hired Gruden’s brother, Jay, to coach the team, then called the Redskins) and several other men.

Former cheerleaders for both teams told The Daily Beast Tuesday they were horrified by the revelations, but not surprised.

Both teams have been hit by lawsuits from their cheerleaders in recent years; the Washington Football team for allegedly distributing a secret, uncensored video of a cheerleader photoshoot to executives; the Raiders for allegedly failing to pay its cheerleaders minimum wage. Both teams settled out of court.
