The day after a congressional deadline for the NFL to produce all documents related to its investigation of the Washington Football Team workplace, Democratic leaders sent a signal that they are not fully satisfied with the league’s initial response.
Attorneys Lisa Banks and Debra Katz, who represent roughly 40 female former employees who made allegations of sexual harassment, have said the NFL’s rationale for not disclosing the report misrepresents the wishes of their clients, who they say wanted anonymity to prevent retaliation but expected a written report.In Friday’s statement, Maloney and Krishnamoorthi called on the NFL and the team to provide “complete transparency on the NFL’s handling of the WFT’s hostile workplace culture.
They cited Goodell’s previous remarks that the NFL would “be cooperative” with Congress and that witnesses “are welcome to be public if they wish to.” On Goodell’s latter point, Krishnamoorthi said in the statement: “While Commissioner Roger Goodell has told the press that victims and witnesses are free to take their story public, he should know many of them do not have that option. Daniel Snyder, the owner of the Washington Football Team, has saddled them with gag orders, preventing them from coming forward due to fear of retaliation.
