Dan Snyder issues statement on sexual harassment claims in organization: 'No place in our franchise'

Washington owner Dan Snyder says he’s committed to building a new culture within his NFL team. In a statement released Friday, Snyder responded to a report from the Washington Post in which 15 women said prominent members of the franchise sexually harassed and abused them.

In his statement, Snyder condemned that behavior, and said he wants to set “a new culture and standard for our team.”
