The House Oversight Committee rebukes Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder and the NFL for lack of cooperation during investigation.
Robert Griffin III believes whoever ends up buying the Commanders should bring in people with D.C. ties.The House Oversight Committee released a 79-page report Thursday detailing the findings of its investigation into the Washington Commanders, slamming the team's owner, Daniel Snyder, and the NFL for its lack of cooperation.
"Our report tells the story of a team rife with sexual harassment and misconduct, a billionaire owner intent on deflecting blame, and an influential organization that chose to cover this up rather than seek accountability and stand up for employees," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the committee's chairwoman, said in a statement.
An NFL spokesperson did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment. Attorneys for the Commanders, John Brownlee and Stuart Nash, criticized the report in a statement and said Congressional Democrats"were only interested in chasing headlines by pursuing one side of the story."Republicans on the oversight committee agreed, releasing their own report on the investigation and framing it as a waste of taxpayer funds.
"In addition to creating a public record of what had been hidden for decades, the Committee’s work resulted in important legislation limiting the use of non-disclosure agreements, which will help prevent this type of widespread harassment from happening in other American workplaces," they said in a statement.
