District of Columbia attorney general Karl Racine announced in a press conference Thursday his office has filed a civil complaint against the Commanders, team owner Dan Snyder, the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell.
The suit claims the team, Snyder, the league and Goodell colluded to deceive D.C. residents about an investigation into toxic workplace culture within the Commanders.
His office began investigating the franchise around the time the U.S. House Committee for Oversight and Reform wrote a letter to the Federal Trade Commission in April concerning alleged financial improprieties. The congressional committee has been investigating alleged workplace misconduct within the franchise since October 2021.
