Former NFL Players Association leader Lloyd Howell Jr. resigned after an outside investigator hired by the union received documents this week showing Howell charged the union for two visits to strip clubs, including a $738.82 car service that took him from the airport to one of the clubs.

The documents are union-approved expense reports and receipts, which ESPN began asking questions about hours before Howell abruptly resigned. ...

Howell was picked up in a sedan by a car service at Fort Lauderdale International Airport on Nov. 2, 2023, at 10:26 p.m. The car's first stop was at a nearby Miami Gardens address. The receipt shows only one other stop, nearly eight hours later at 6 a.m., when the car dropped off Howell at his luxury condominium in Sunny Isles Beach.

A union finance worker noticed the car service's exorbitant cost. The employee searched online for the Miami Gardens address, discovering it was Tootsie's Cabaret.

The 76,000-square-foot venue bills itself as the world's largest strip club -- "full nude No. 1 rated." ...

More than a year later, Howell and two union employees visited a strip club in Atlanta, according to the expense reports obtained by ESPN.

During this year's NFLPA summit on Feb. 21, Howell accompanied the employees to the Magic City strip club for an outing that incurred $2,426 in charges including cash withdrawals, ranging from $200 to $525, from a club ATM, sources and documents show. They used two "VIP rooms."

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