Attorneys general for Virginia and Washington, DC, launch separate investigations into Washington Commanders’ financial dealings

"The investigations come after lawmakers in Congress laid out accusations against the team and executives including Snyder last week, including that they “may have intentionally withheld millions of dollars in refundable security deposits owed to fans, and concealed revenues that were owed to the NFL as part of the League’s revenue-sharing agreement.”"

Providing an infinite amount of legal work is a great way to ingratiate yourself with the DC power elite

I never knew, until now . . . that there is a technical way that owners of teams can be removed.

D.C. attorney general sues Daniel Snyder, Commanders, NFL
The office of D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D) said Thursday it filed a consumer protection lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, Daniel Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell, accusing them of colluding to deceive and mislead customers about an investigation of the team’s workplace to maintain the franchise’s fan base in pursuit of revenue.

My initial question on this was “how do DC residents have standing on this” and the ESPN article attempts to answer:

Racine said his office has jurisdiction to sue because the District of Columbia's consumer-protection law is broad and covers any material misstatement that a business or merchant makes that could affect consumers in the district. He said the district is filing a civil complaint because his office does not have criminal jurisdiction on the matter.

This seems tenuous at best to me but I will allow one of the board’s actual attorneys to opine. Perhaps HoyaSaxa will take some time off of train law and reappear and give us some insight from London!

Congress Slams Dan Snyder and the N.F.L. for Impeding Sexual Harassment Investigation
A congressional committee said the N.F.L. “has not protected workers from sexual harassment and abuse” and found that Snyder, the Commanders owner, went to great lengths to interfere in workplace inquiries.

He is extremely polarizing. I think he’s refreshing — this particular comment aside. “Premature snapulation” and “Orgy in the end zone” are first ballot HoF calls.
