Roger Goodell: Commanders' Workplace Culture Was 'Unprofessional and Unacceptable'

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will testify to Congress that the Washington Commanders had a workplace culture that was "unprofessional and unacceptable."

Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith shared prepared remarks from Goodell that were provided by the NFL:

"It is clear to me that the workplace in Washington was unprofessional and unacceptable in numerous respects: bullying, widespread disrespect toward colleagues, use of demeaning language, public embarrassment, and harassment. Moreover, for a prolonged period of time the Commanders had a woefully deficient HR function, particularly with respect to reporting practices and recordkeeping."
