Washington D.C. attorney general files suit against Commanders, Snyder, NFL and Goodell
The attorney general for the District of Columbia says his office is filing a civil consumer protection lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, owner Dan Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell. Attorney General Karl Racine announced the civil complaint for colluding to deceive District residents at a news conference Thursday.
Racine said the team and league violated D.C. consumers’ rights based on what they knew about the organization’s workplace misconduct, alleging Snyder lied about his knowledge of the situation.
“Dan Snyder assured fans that he would fully cooperate with the investigation and the results could be trusted," one of the posters read. “That was a lie: He repeatedly attempted to interfere, and the fans could not trust results that were never made public. Because Snyder had a veto.”
