Washington DC Attorney General Karl Racine filed a lawsuit claiming billionaire Dan Snyder and the National Football League misled the public about an investigation into a toxic work environment at his Washington Commanders football team.
The consumer protection suit accuses Snyder, the Commanders, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell of colluding to downplay allegations of sexual harassment of employees so that fans would continue to support the team financially through ticket sales and merchandise purchases.
