Women who allege abuse in Washington are speaking out after everyone in the building failed them

For most of this week, some media who cover the Washington football team on a regular basis were tweeting about a bombshell story set to come out that would expose terrible behavior within the organization.

Let it be said that those who were teasing this story, if they had an inkling of what was in the Washington Post piece that dropped Thursday evening, should be ashamed. The pain and humiliation these women endured shouldn’t have been social media theater, nor should their stories have been demeaned for retweets.

Maybe, since these brave women had been failed by pretty much everyone within the Washington organization, we shouldn’t be surprised that they were failed one last time, even by those technically outside the organization.
