Lawyers representing ex-Washington Football Team employees who have made sexual harassment allegations against current and former franchise executives have sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell asking for the league to conduct its own independent investigation and that team owner Dan Snyder be suspended until the investigation is over.
Per ESPN's John Keim, the lawyers, Lisa Banks and Debra Katz, called for Snyder's removal as owner if the NFL investigation "backs up the claims of former employees."
Goodell released a statement Wednesday regarding the allegations, per Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports:
"We strongly condemn the unprofessional, disturbing and abhorrent behavior and workplace environment alleged in the report which is entirely inconsistent with our standards and has no place in the NFL.
