The Washington Post published an article on July 16 detailing allegations by former Washington Redskins employee Emily Applegate’s experience of sexual harassment and verbal abuse from people within the organization.

Applegate is one of 15 former female Redskins employees who told The Post they were sexually harassed during their time at the club, according to the article.

There was also mention of some female sports reporters allegedly being sexually assaulted at the organization.

Coming across the story I felt a number of emotions — sadness, outrage — but the worst was, I wasn’t surprised.
