NFL and Washington agreed to keep a lid on the investigation
The document, known as a “Common Interest Agreement,” spells out that the NFL and team ”share common legal interests” in the wake of dozens of women detailing to The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/16/redskins-sexual-harassment-larry-michael-alex-santos/?itid=lk_inline_manual_4) experiences of being sexually harassed, demeaned and degraded by team officials.
The existence of the document, which was obtained by a congressional committee investigating the NFL’s handling of the team’s toxic culture and released Friday morning, undermines claims that the NFL’s probe was impartial, the Democrats who released the documents said.
The agreement “may have been intended to prevent the public release of certain information related to the investigation absent the agreement of both parties,” the Democrats wrote in a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Friday, “meaning that either the WFT or the NFL could try to bury the findings of the investigation.”
