Washington Football Team reportedly settled sexual misconduct allegation against owner Dan Snyder for $1.6 million

The Washington Football Team settled a sexual misconduct allegation regarding owner Dan Snyder with a former employee in 2009, according to multiple reports.

The New York Times reported this weekend that there was a settlement; The Washington Post received a copy of the agreement and said it was for $1.6 million. The Post, citing an anonymous source, reported it stemmed from an incident on Snyder's plane while returning from the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

The Times had reported Sunday that two investigations in 2009 -- by the team and an outside law firm -- failed to substantiate the woman's claim.
