The NFL is not going to issue a report on its 10-month investigation into allegations the Washington Football Team engaged in harassment and abuse because of its promise to protect the identities of those who testified, Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Tuesday.
Speaking around 7 p.m. after the first day of meetings for the 32 owners, Goodell said the league wanted to protect the roughly 150 former employees who spoke to outside counsel Beth Wilkinson, who conducted the NFL investigation and amassed six million pages of evidence.
"When you make a promise to protect the anonymity, to make sure that we get the right information, you need to stay with it," Goodell said. "And so we're very conscious of making sure that we're protecting those who came forward. They were incredibly brave."
