Congressional hearing on the NFL's Washington Redskins
- Thread starter AC2020
- Start date
I guess historic gas prices and inflation rates not seen in forty years are not real high on the Democrat priority list. Better to investigate what NFL owners and staff said about cheerleaders.
Did I miss the memo? I thought criminal investigations were the responsibility of the Justice Department. Why is Congress and not the DOJ investigating a private organization based in Maryland?
The NFL must have told Democrats they were not going to pay them anymore bribe money.
The same Byron Donalds that voted along with Matt Gaetz and other dumbshits to object to the certification of electoral votes??? That one? Lolololololol
carry on
carry on
I guess. If this were a hearing about the anti-Trust rules and their application for things like sports leagues, then Congress is just doing its job. But if its an investigation into workplace practices and harassment, that is a DOJ matter and I'd question what standing Congress has to perform such an inquiry.
Congress asks Roger Goodell, Dan Snyder to appear at hearing on Washington franchise workplace culture
The U.S. House Oversight Committee announced Wednesday it has requested Commissioner Roger Goodell and Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder to appear before the committee at a hearing on the Commanders' hostile workplace culture scheduled for June 22.

“Congress launched an investigation into the Washington franchise's workplace misconduct in Oct. 2021 after the league did not release a report detailing the findings of an independent probe into the matter.
Washington hired lawyer Beth Wilkinson in the summer of 2020 to look into allegations of sexual harassment and other improper conduct within the organization. The league later took over that investigation and fined the team $10 million in July and said the culture at the club was "toxic" and ownership and senior officials paid little attention to sexual harassment and other workplace issues.
Snyder has stepped away from day-to-day operations, but the lack of a written report prompted Congress' inquiry.”
I'm not surprised, but your response fails to answer the question. Why is this in Congress' jurisdiction to investigate at all? The only investigative powers Congress has is in regards to the executive branch. All other investigative responsibilities lie within the realm of the executive branch.
My first thought was that because they were the Washington Commanders and that they are part of D.C. which is a 'special place', it fell under Congress. But the Washington team is located in Landover, Maryland.
