Redskins: Cheerleaders ‘directly contradict’ NYT article charges

In the wake of Wednesday’s bombshell New York Times story, Redskins president Bruce Allen said Thursday the team is “immediately looking into” allegations raised over a 2013 trip to Costa Rica involving its cheerleaders.

The New York Times reported male sponsors and suite holders were allowed to attend a topless photo shoot and nine women were later required to be personal escorts for some of the men at a nightclub, where team officials were also present.

“The Redskins organization is very concerned by the allegations involving our cheerleaders in the recent New York Times article,” Allen said in a statement.
