NFL: Please Release the Washington Football Team Sexual Assault Report
At Thursday’s House hearing, multiple survivors of the team’s repeated abuse and sexual harassment relived moments of physical violations and emotional manipulation in front of Congress. Tiffany Mattingly Johnston, a former cheerleader and marketing employee, came forward with new allegations, saying Snyder verbally abused employees in front of her. She also said Snyder had inappropriately touched her at a team dinner, placing a hand on her leg while she was seated next to him.
Engleson added that the man who sexually harassed her was old enough to be her father, and that she was so afraid that she often hid from him at public events, positioning herself between colleagues so he couldn’t reach her.“Under Dan Snyder’s leadership, women were used as sex objects and tools to increase sales rather than dignified human beings,” said Melanie Coburn, a former team cheerleader and marketing employee who has previously spoken out and who testified Thursday.
While the hearing was full of moving testimony, Republicans continued to minimize the rampant issue of sexual assault, not just in the NFL, but across workplaces in America. Kentucky Rep. James Comer said the Committee should be focusing, instead, on issues of inflation, enforcing the Mexico border, and China.
