NFL Fines Washington $10 Million After Investigation Into Workplace Culture

The NFL has fined the Washington Football Team $10 million after an investigation into the franchise's workplace culture, the league announced Thursday.

The investigation came after last year's Washington Post report spotlighting 15 former female employees of the team describing their experiences with sexual harassment within the organization. The report provided detailed incidents of female employees were forced to engage in sexual advancements and disrespectful comments by team employees.

In addition, WFT cheerleaders claimed to have been secretly videotaped while getting undressed, and later reached a settlement with the team.
