Lawmakers pressure NFL to release report on Washington's football team as former employees speak to Congress
CBSN
Former Washington Commanders employees and members of Congress pressured the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday to release a report about the team's alleged history of sexual harassment and an alleged sexist and hostile workplace culture.
One of the six former employees who spoke before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform also came forward with a new allegation that she was sexually harassed by team owner Dan Snyder himself, which Snyder denied.
Complaints about the team's treatment of female employees first surfaced in 2020, and Snyder commissioned an investigation into the team's workplace environment that was taken over by the NFL. The probe by attorney Beth Wilkinson's firm led the league to fine Washington $10 million, and Snyder temporarily ceded day-to-day operations of the team to his wife, Tanya.
