The Washington Commanders on Monday strongly disputed claims of financial improprieties in a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, laying out the case for why there should be no investigation by the government institution.
The 22-page letter, written by team attorney Jordan Siev and addressed to FTC chair Lina M. Khan and obtained by ESPN, rebutted allegations by former team employee Jason Friedman that the team had engaged in nefarious financial practices, impacting consumers and the NFL, to increase their revenue. In addition to the letter, there were 83 pages of signed affidavits, emails and texts.
