15 women allege culture of sexual harassment, abuse with Washington's NFL team in WaPo report

Fifteen women leveled accusations of a culture of sexual harassment and misconduct that reached upper management with Washington’s NFL team under Daniel Snyder’s ownership in a report published in the Washington Post on Thursday.

Snyder is not accused of harassment. He is accused of fostering a “hostile” work environment. The allegations span from 2006-2019. Snyder purchased the team in 1999. He declined multiple requests for comment, according to the Post.

“I have never been in a more hostile, manipulative, passive-aggressive environment ... and I worked in politics,” former vice president of communications Julia Payne told the Post.
