Roger Goodell agrees to testify before Congress, while Dan Snyder declines

Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder won't appear at a hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform after declining its request Wednesday, according to a four-page letter obtained by Axios.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, however, will appear before the committee remotely to discuss his league's most scandal-plagued team, per Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

Snyder and Goodell were both asked on June 1 to testify at the hearing, which was scheduled for June 22, stemming from the committee's investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct within the Commanders' organization as well as the NFL's internal probe of the allegations.
