Roger Goodell appeared before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Wednesday to answer questions about the Washington Commanders’ workplace culture and the alleged sexual harassment having taken place within the organization. The meeting turned into a spectacle, for all the wrong reasons.
While some representatives such as chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) took the allegations brought forward against the Commanders and their ownership seriously, others apparently did not — at least within the forum created by the committee. Its Republican members, after all, spent much of their time either questioning the validity of the hearing or talking about other topics entirely.
