From the office of Attorney General Karl A. Racine:
“Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced a new lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, team owner Dan Snyder, the National Football League (NFL), and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for colluding to deceive District residents–Commanders’ core fans–about an investigation into toxic workplace culture and allegations of sexual assault to maintain a strong fanbase and increase profits.
