Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Dan Snyder Ordered to Pay NFL $60 Million
Caption: Dan Snyder Ordered to Pay NFL $60 Million. The news was revealed in a report released by the NFL on July 20, according to ABC News. "After extensive investigation, we have sustained both Tiffani Johnston's allegation of sexual harassment by Mr. Snyder and Jason Friedman's allegation of deliberate underreporting of NFL revenues by the Club to avoid its VTS sharing obligations." "Documentary evidence, witness interviews, and Club admissions all corroborated Mr. Friedman's allegations that the Club intentionally shielded and withheld shareable NFL revenues." "We strive for workplaces that are safe, respectful and professional. What Ms. Johnston experienced is inappropriate and contrary to the NFL's values.", The league released the report the same day that the sale of the Washington Commanders was approved by league owners. A group led by Josh Harris, which includes Magic Johnson, will purchase the team for $6.05 billion. Snyder must now pay the NFL $60 million on his way out to resolve the findings against him and "all outstanding matters". Snyder and the club repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. "Although Mr. Snyder denied it, multiple witnesses informed us that Mr. Snyder pressured employees to improve the Club's financial performance ('every last dollar' matters) and the evidence shows that, as one way of achieving higher revenues and lower costs, the Club, during the 2009–2015 seasons, wrongfully violated the sharing rules in order to retain greater amounts of shareable revenues through 'VTS savings.", "We credit Ms. Johnston's account that Mr. Snyder put his hand on her thigh under the restaurant table (which she removed without comment) and pushed her towards his car after a work-related dinner, and that Ms. Johnston did not consent, in any way, to Mr. Snyder's actions."
