NFL takes over investigation of Washington Football Team
Daily MailThe NFL has taken over the independent investigation into workplace conduct within the Washington Football Team, owner Dan Snyder confirmed Monday. She previously represented the NFL in a lawsuit challenging its cable television package, and now she'll report to commissioner Roger Goodell once again Former Redskins cheerleader Tiffany Bacon Scourby claims Snyder suggested that she join his 'close friend' in a hotel room so they 'could get to know each other' back in 2004 Lawyers Lisa Banks and Debra Katz, who represent more than 15 former team employees, met with NFL senior vice president and special counsel for investigations Lisa Friel on Monday.

Dan Snyder still owns the Washington Football Team, but temporarily ceded day-to-day control of the franchise following the NFL's investigation into sexual harassment claims against the club. FedEx Corp. CEO Fred Smith thought he found a buyer at least once in the last year, according to the Wall Street Journal, but Snyder was slow to approve the deal and the buyer eventually bought a stake in another team The team's minority owners consist of FedEx Corp. CEO Fred Smith, Black Diamond Capital chairman Robert Rothman and NVR Inc. board chairman Dwight Schar, who control a combined 40 percent stake worth roughly $1.4billion, according to Forbes' $3.4billion valuation in 2019 Here, Redskins owners, from left to right: Robert Rothman, Dwight Schar and Dan Snyder are all smiles in the closing minutes of a win over the Vikings.
