USAT: Washington Wire

Feb 10, 2022

It was another busy day in the news cycle for the Washington Commanders and owner Daniel Snyder. And, as you might expect, it was nothing particularly good. - Early Wednesday, the Commanders announced the hiring of Pallas Global, which would manage an independent investigation into the claims against Snyder last week by former team employee Tiffani Johnston. - Later in the day, an NFL spokesman said the league would oversee the investigation, not Washington. - All of this occurred on the same day NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke from Los Angeles to discuss Super Bowl LVI and other hot league topics. - To no one’s surprise, Goodell discussed the ongoing drama with the Commanders. - First, Goodell was asked about the most recent allegations made against Snyder. - Here’s his response: - “I don’t see how a team can do its own investigation of itself,” Goodell replied. “We need to understand what truly happened and treat that in the most serious way.” - - NFL Commissioner Roger Good on NFL using their own investigation team and not the team hired by owner Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders. @wusa9 #TakeCommand - More:
