Fritz Pollard Alliance to Ask NFL to Investigate Washington's Recent Hires

The Fritz Pollard Alliance, which is the independent group that works with the NFL on enforcing the Rooney Rule and helping create environments conducive to diversity and inclusion, will reportedly ask the league to investigate the Washington team's recent high-profile hires.

Jason Reid of ESPN's The Undefeated reported the news, noting the group wants to see if the franchise followed the updated Rooney Rule while hiring Terry Bateman and Julie Donaldson.

Washington hired Bateman as its newest executive vice president and chief marketing officer and Donaldson as its newest senior vice president of media.
