Washington president Bruce Allen said Thursday the NFL team is "looking into" troubling allegations former cheerleaders made to The New York Times about the treatment of cheerleaders at a 2013 calendar photo shoot in Costa Rica.
In a statement, Allen said the team had spoken with "a number of" cheerleaders who provided accounts that "directly contradict" details in the Times' story, which cited five cheerleaders present at the photo shoot who did not disclose their names because they had signed non-disclosure agreements.
"The [Washington] organization is very concerned by the allegations involving our cheerleaders in the recent New York Times article," Allen said.
