Congressional Committee Pressures NFL To Release Washington Probe Findings

Former Washington Commanders employees and members of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform once again called for the NFL to release the findings of its probe into the franchise.

A hybrid roundtable was held on Thursday with several former employees of the franchise to discuss “workplace misconduct and the NFL’s failure to take steps to prevent sexual harassment and verbal abuse within the Washington Football Team under the leadership of owner Dan Snyder,” per an official release. It comes after many calls from the former employees and congressional members for the findings to be released. 

“When the investigation of the air pressure of Tom Brady’s football concludes with a 200 plus page report, but the investigation into two decades of sexual harassment concludes with nothing, it shows the NFL’s complete lack of respect towards women, their employees and our culture as a country," Emily Applegate, the team's former marketing coordinator and ticket sales representative, said in her opening statement.
