Lawyers Urge NFL to Release WFT Investigation Findings in Wake of Gruden Scandal

Lisa Banks and Debra Katz, the lawyers representing 40 former Washington Football Team employees, released a statement on Tuesday urging the NFL to release the findings of its investigation into the team.

The statement comes just a day after former Raiders coach Jon Gruden resigned after the New York Times uncovered misogynistic, racist and anti-LGBTQ emails sent by Gruden from 2010 to '18. The emails were collected and reviewed by the NFL while it investigated the Washington Football Team—Gruden reportedly sent the emails to then-team president Bruce Allen.

"It is truly outrageous that after the NFL's 10-month long investigation involving hundreds of witnesses and 650,000 documents related to the longtime culture of harassment and abuse at the Washington Football Team, the only person to be held accountable and lose their job is the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders," the statement read.
