AG ​Schwalb announced that Pro-Football LLC, the corporation that owns the Washington Commanders, will pay $1,000,000 to resolve allegations that under the team’s former ownership, including Dan Snyder, it violated DC consumer protection law by misleading District residents about the team’s investigation into a toxic and abusive workplace culture, including allegations of sexual assault, in order to protect the Commanders’ brand and to keep fans paying for tickets and merchandise.

“The Commanders’ current owners have commendably opened a new chapter in the team’s history, committing to ensure all employees are protected from abuse and treated with dignity. Every business operating in the district has an obligation to provide honest information to its customers, and the Commanders’ loyal fanbase deserves no less. I want to thank the victims for coming forward to tell their stories – without their bravery, none of this would have come to light.” – AG Schwalb
