EXCLUSIVE: ‘Categorically false’: Commanders lawyer fires back at scathing ESPN report on Dan Snyder
EXCLUSIVE — Recent reporting from ESPN that Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has amassed blackmail to"blow up" multiple NFL owners is"just a fabrication with a bunch of anonymous sources," according to a lawyer for the team.
Among the flurry of accusations lodged against Snyder in the report were assertions from anonymous sources that they believed Snyder tapped his law firms to hire private investigators to dig up dirt on Goodell and other owners. Snyder was described as"paranoid" and"behaving like a mad dog cornered," among other characterizations.
Brownlee also took aim at the oversight committee memo that detailed an alleged"shadow investigation." He argued that the"only evidence" the panel relied on to buttress its assertions was a PowerPoint from an investigation into the India matter. When asked for a comment about Brownlee's contention in the committee's memo, a spokesperson issued a statement to the Washington Examiner.
"I think the motivation obviously is money. And I think who [is behind it] is a good question," he said. Another gripe Brownlee had was reporting that Snyder was accused of sexually harassing a former employee in 2009, including by trying to take off her clothes, groping her, and demanding sex, according to the Washington Post. Court documents indicated the Commanders reached a $1.6 million settlement with her, but Brownlee denied the underlying accusation.
