Attorneys for Ex-Washington Football Team Employees: Goodell 'Misrepresented the Wishes of Our Clients'

Lisa Banks and Debra Katz, the attorneys representing 40 former Washington Football Team employees who participated in the investigation, rejected NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's position on releasing the WFT probe findings, saying he "misrepresented the wishes of our clients."

"You have chosen to hide behind the "incredibly brave" women and men who came forward to try to justify your decision to protect the WFT and Dan Snyder from whatever is contained in those findings," the attorneys penned in a letter to Goodell. "You have misrepresented the wishes of our clients, and likely those of the other women and men who came forward, to justify your decision to bury what we know would be a damning report, having sat through dozens of interviews.
