The NFL is empowered to discipline a team, its owner or employees under its personal conduct policy. That person and another familiar with the NFL’s inner workings said a fine of the team is expected if the allegations are substantiated. Shaunna Thomas, the group’s co-founder, said in a statement: “Daniel Snyder has enabled, encouraged and fostered a hostile workplace and toxic culture for women. If the NFL is serious about cleaning up its act, they will force Snyder to sell the team.”The NFL fined Richardson $2.75 million in 2018 after investigating claims of workplace misconduct against him. The NFL did not take over Washington’s investigation, one person familiar with the league’s view said, because the owner was not directly implicated.
