NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league takes "very seriously" allegations of sexual harassment at NFL Network and will launch an internal investigation into the claims made by a former employee of the league-owned TV outlet.

"We take that very seriously," Goodell told reporters Wednesday at the league’s winter meetings in Dallas (via Yahoo Sports). "Those are issues that are important to us. We want to make sure that all of our employees, whether at the NFL Network or at the league office or at clubs, are working in a safe and comfortable environment. Any time that doesn’t exist, we are going to make sure that we deal with that very quickly and very seriously."

Former NFL Network wardrobe stylist Jami Cantor this week amended a wrongful termination lawsuit to include the identities of those she says sexually harassed her when she worked at the network. That led to a wave of suspensions at NFL Network that included Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor and Heath Evans.

The original lawsuit, filed in October, didn't identify individuals who she alleges created a hostile work environment, Cantor's attorney, Laura Horton told USA Today. Horton said she received "no response" from the league after the original filing, despite its including allegations of fondling, sexual propositions and other inappropriate conduct.

When Horton amended the complaint Monday "for procedural reasons," the attorney added the names of several current and former NFL Network employees.

"Since I had to amend it anyway," Horton told USA Today, "I thought it was appropriate to add the names."

In addition to the three current NFL Network analysts named in Cantor's lawsuit, she also accuses former network analysts and ex-NFL players Donovan McNabb, Warren Sapp and Eric Davis of improper conduct.
McNabb and Davis were suspended Tuesday by ESPN, their current employer, pending an investigation into Cantor's claims
