Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder fined $60 million in sexual harassment, financial misconduct probe

Outgoing Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder has been levied with a staggering $60 million fine by the NFL after an independent investigation determined Snyder had sexually harassed a team employee and that executives under his leadership engaged in financial misconduct, the league announced Thursday.

The news comes on the same day Snyder's fellow NFL owners unanimously approved his $6 billion sale of the franchise to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris.

The independent investigation was led by Mary Jo White, a former chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
