Embattled Washington hires Julie Donaldson as lead broadcaster for its radio broadcasts

Washington’s NFL team and owner Daniel Snyder has a long way to go to repair the damage from a Washington Post story that exposed numerous complaints of sexual harassment.

To start that process Washington is replacing Larry Michael, the team’s longtime play-by-play radio announcer who was accused of misconduct in the Post’s story, with Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington. In addition to leading the radio broadcast team Donaldson will have a senior-level role in the organization, NBC Sports Washington confirmed.

It’s fair to be skeptical if this signals the start of change in the organization or if it’s a public-relations move strategically leaked to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
