The investigation into the Washington Football Team’s toxic workplace was supposed to turn out a lot different. Dozens of women told their stories, the cheerleader story came out, the minority owners were pushing to get Snyder to sell, and the public was once again getting a look inside one of the worst organizations in the NFL. Dan Snyder, who bought the franchise in 1999, was once again under the microscope.
Beth Wilkinson was hired by Snyder to look into the accusations against the organization. This was immediately called out as a terrible idea at best, and the NFL took over the investigation.
