Within a week of announcing that they will change their name, another major news story regarding the NFL’s Washington Redskins broke out.

This time, 15 former employees of the team have spoken out to reveal that they had been sexually harassed during their tenure.

In a story that was reported by the Washington Post, the employees not only explained how they were harassed but also talked about the overall toxic atmosphere of the organization, and how their calls for help were muted.

Five male employees seem to have been the most problematic. Of the five, two have been fired and one just recently retired after The Washington Post inquired about the employees’ status to the NFL team.

According to the women, the comments were vile and vulgar by any standards. From unwanted compliments on their body figure to even being urged to wear revealing outfits for certain clients, sexual harassment of all degrees seemed to have happened inside the team.

Although team owner Dan Snyder was not identified as a culprit, members in his tight inner circle have been. Moreover, he has been criticized for undermining internal organizations that handles this issues, as well as intimidating and jeering at employees over this matter.

Whether this story affects Snyder’s 20-plus year ownership of the team is not yet clear. The allegations that were raised span a long period between 2006 and 2019; Snyder has been in charge of the team since 1999.

Back in 2017, former owner of the Carolina Panthers Jerry Richardson sold the team after he was involved in a similar matter. However, the nature is a bit different since Richardson was directly involved with the allegations.

Of the five employees that have been identified, only former COO Mitch Gershman publicly addressed the issue. Gershman, who left the organization in 2015, denied the allegations but apologized if anyone felt verbally offended by him.

While the team has apologized for any misconduct that may have took place and pledged to have an outside organization look into the matter, it refused to terminate a non-disclosure agreement the employees signed with the team.
