UNDATED (AP) — The NFL has sent a letter to a congressional committee explaining its handling of the investigation of misconduct at the Washington franchise.
In the letter from the league’s law firm to the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, the NFL says its actions in not publicly disclosing the findings of the probe solely were to protect those who offered information. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday.
Former Washington team employees and members of Congress have been pressuring the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell to release the report about the team’s history of sexual harassment and its workplace culture.

— The Dolphins introduced Mike McDaniel as their new head coach Thursday at a news conference during which the franchise owner and general manager only talked about the new hire. McDaniel was hired Sunday, 27 days after Brian Flores was fired and five days after Flores filed a lawsuit accusing the NFL of systemic racism in its hiring practices. Flores alleges that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 per loss during the 2019 season.
