Redskins exec resigns in wake of cheerleading scandal

Dennis Greene, who at one point served as Washington Redskins president of business operations and was involved in the team's ill-fated 2013 cheerleader photo shoot, has resigned, a team spokesman confirmed Thursday, per Liz Clarke of the Washington Post.

A report surfaced in early May that stated some cheerleaders were required to pose topless in front of male sponsors and suite holders, and later act as escorts to a Costa Rican nightclub.

While in charge of selling luxury suites at FedEx Field, Greene promised access to the team's cheerleaders as an incentive for potential buyers, according to a former Redskins official.

"They'd send suite owners down there, and that's how Dennis Greene got people to buy suites," the official told the Washington Post. "He'd say, 'I'm going to give you a good deal, and you can go on a trip with the cheerleaders.'"

Greene had recently been named the team's president of hospitality but leaves the team after a 17-year tenure.
