'We feel invisible': Washington Football Team employees experienced decades of abuse, sexual harassm


The general public now has access to the shocking details in the emails from Jon Gruden, newly resigned head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The NFL collected and reviewed these emails concerning the investigation of the Washington Football Team’s abusive work environment in 2020. Just a handful of emails – out of 650,000 collected – was enough to create change for the Raiders.

But let me remind you – Gruden’s actions pale in comparison with those of Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder.

Where are the other 649,995 emails? What about those from Snyder and former team general counsel Dave Donovan concerning the $1.6 million sexual assault settlement a female employee received in 2009? What about the email I wrote to human resources in October 2005 concerning harassment from a football player (which was disregarded)?

So that team's racism goes way back.
