Report: Washington Football Team's Cheerleading Program Paused Amid NFL Probe

The Washington Football Team reportedly put its cheerleading program on pause and plans on rebranding it amid an NFL investigation.

WUSA9's Darren Haynes reported the news Monday, noting the team plans to bring in an outside consultant to assist in changes to the program. What's more, cheerleading director Jamilla Keene was reportedly removed from her position, although it is not known if that is directly related to the investigation.

As Haynes pointed out, this comes after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said attorney Beth Wilkinson is "nearing the completion" of an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment within the organization.
