And probably the best time for this expose to come out from the Post. "Washington Redskins accused of sexual harassment for years".

All good though, as in a week or 2 that team won't exist anymore. :rolleyes:

15 Women Allege Sexual Harassment by NFL's Redskins

Female employees of the Washington Redskins – some of whom signed nondisclosure agreements – are alleging systemic sexual harassment and a hostile work environment with the NFL team currently weighing a name change.

Emily Applegate, 31, and 14 other women made the allegations to The Washington Post as the team has announced a pending name change after a review of the Redskins moniker determined it was racially insensitive to Native Americans.

The team has hired Washington, D.C., attorney Beth Wilkinson of Wilkinson Walsh "to conduct a thorough independent review of this entire matter and help the team set new employee standards for the future," according to the report.

"The Washington Redskins football team takes issues of employee conduct seriously," the team wrote in a statement.

"While we do not speak to specific employee situations publicly, when new allegations of conduct are brought forward that are contrary to these policies, we address them promptly."

Most of the women spoke to the team anonymously, alleging various hostile work environment acts from 2006 to 2019, including profane tirades by a former COO, misogynistic comments, and being told to wear sexually explicit clothes "so the men in the room have something to look at," according to Applegate to the Post.
