Commanders Deny Allegations of Team Withholding Ticket Revenue Required to Be Shared

The Washington Commanders denied they withheld any ticket revenue that was required to be shared with other teams in the league.

"There has been absolutely no withholding of ticket revenue at any time by the Commanders," the team said in a statement Monday. "Those revenues are subject to independent audits by multiple parties. Anyone who offered testimony suggesting a withholding of revenue has committed perjury, plain and simple."

A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports reported Saturday that the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform received information that alleged the team withheld some of the 40 percent of its ticket revenue from each home game that is supposed to go to visiting teams.
