NFL fines Washington Football Team $10 million after investigation finds "highly unprofessional" workplace

The NFL has fined the Washington Football Team $10 million and owner Dan Snyder is stepping away from day-to-day operations for several months after an independent investigation found the organization's workplace "highly unprofessional," especially for women.

The team was not stripped of any draft picks and no formal suspensions were handed out as part of the league's discipline, which was announced Thursday. The discipline stemmed from lawyer Beth Wilkinson's investigation, which began last summer. The investigation, commissioned by the club amid allegations from employees and eventually taken over by the league, revealed that ownership and senior officials paid little attention to sexual harassment and other workplace issues. NFL special counsel for investigations Lisa Friel described it as a culture of fear.
