If owner Dan Synder steps back, Washington has a chance to rebuild culture

ASHBURN, Va. -- It was made clear by the NFL on Thursday that Dan Snyder had built a terrible workplace culture during his first 20 years as Washington Football Team owner. It was described as "toxic" by attorney Beth Wilkinson in her independent investigation after interviews with more than 150 current and former employees. Nobody should be surprised by that. It wasn't just about sexual harassment; it was about many employees -- male and female -- describing Washington's culture as one of fear.

You can debate whether the NFL's punishment of a $10 million fine handed down Thursday was enough.
