Report: NFL taking over investigation into Snyder's alleged misconduct

The NFL has informed Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder the league is taking over the investigation into his alleged workplace misconduct, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Snyder supports the NFL's initiative, Rapoport adds.

In a Washington Post report last week, multiple former Washington employees accused Snyder and other ex-team employees of sexual harassment and misconduct.

Snyder denied the accusations, saying the Post's article features several "questionable and unnamed sources."

The claims against Snyder came out just weeks after 15 former Washington female employees said they were sexually harassed or verbally abused during their time working for the team from 2006 to 2019, which spans much of Snyder's tenure as the franchise's owner.

Washington minority partners are now reportedly pressuring Snyder to sell the club this offseason.
