Pemilik komandan Dan Snyder terlibat dalam pelanggaran dan “budaya kerja beracun” di pihak NFL, menurut laporan yang diterbitkan Kamis oleh Komite Pengawasan dan Reformasi DPR AS.

Para Komandan Washington menciptakan “budaya kerja beracun” selama lebih dari dua dekade, “mengabaikan dan meremehkan pelanggaran seksual” oleh pria di tingkat atas organisasi, menurut sebuah laporan yang diterbitkan pada hari Kamis oleh Komite Pengawasan dan Reformasi DPR AS.
Pemilik komandan Dan Snyder terlibat dalam pelanggaran tersebut, menurut laporan tersebut, yang mengatakan dia secara tidak tepat menyentuh seorang mantan karyawan saat makan malam, menyuruh staf membuat video “rekaman pemandu sorak yang menjurus secara seksual”, dan memerintahkan agar wanita yang mengikuti audisi menjadi pemandu sorak berjalan di lapangan “sementara dia dan teman-temannya melongo dari kamarnya melalui teropong.”
Snyder juga ikut campur dalam apa yang dikenal sebagai penyelidikan Wilkinson, yang akhirnya diambil alih NFL, yang berasal dari mantan karyawan yang menuduh pelecehan seksual merajalela pada tahun 2020 oleh eksekutif tim, kata laporan itu.
Dia juga melakukan penyelidikan bayangan terpisah, yang menurut laporan itu digunakan oleh pengacaranya untuk “melemparnya sebagai korban kampanye pencemaran nama baik … dan mengalihkan tanggung jawab atas budaya kerja beracun tim.”
Pemilik tim juga mengganggu penyelidikan komite DPR dengan “mengintimidasi saksi,” “menolak untuk membebaskan mantan karyawan dari kewajiban kerahasiaan mereka” dan memblokir “akses Komite ke puluhan ribu dokumen yang dikumpulkan selama Investigasi Wilkinson.”
Ketika Snyder bersaksi dalam deposisi kepada komite, laporan tersebut mengatakan dia mengelak dan menyesatkan dan mengatakan lebih dari 100 kali bahwa dia tidak mengingat sesuatu.
NFL tidak terlindung dari kritik dalam laporan tersebut, yang mengatakan liga “menyesatkan publik tentang penanganannya terhadap Investigasi Wilkinson”, “terus meminimalkan pelanggaran di tempat kerja di seluruh liga”, “belum melindungi pekerja dari pelecehan dan pelecehan seksual, ” dan “belum mencari pertanggungjawaban sejati bagi mereka yang bertanggung jawab.”
Baik tim hukum NFL maupun Snyder tidak segera menanggapi pesan yang meminta komentar. Penasihat hukum Komandan, John Brownlee dan Stuart Nash, mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan bahwa pekerjaan komite “sepihak” dan “tidak ada pengungkapan baru” dalam laporan hari Kamis.
“Dan, ironisnya untuk ‘badan investigasi, yang diduga terlibat dalam penyelidikan,’ para penyelidik sebenarnya mengkritik tim dan Tuan Snyder karena memberikan bukti kepada Komite – seperti email mantan karyawan tim yang dikirim dari akun tempat kerja mereka – yang mengungkapkan penyebab sebenarnya dari lingkungan tempat kerja yang sebelumnya tidak berfungsi di tim,” kata pernyataan itu.
Penasihat hukum mengatakan tim “bangga dengan kemajuan yang telah dibuat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir dalam membangun tempat kerja yang ramah dan inklusif, dan menantikan kesuksesan di masa depan, baik di dalam maupun di luar lapangan”.
Lisa Banks dan Debra Katz, yang mewakili lebih dari 40 karyawan mantan Komandan, mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan pada hari Kamis bahwa “pekerjaan komite menghasilkan undang-undang penting yang membatasi penggunaan perjanjian non-disclosure, yang akan membantu mencegah jenis pelecehan yang meluas ini dari terjadi di tempat kerja Amerika lainnya”.
Komite DPR membuka penyelidikannya setelah NFL tidak merilis laporan tertulis dari tinjauan pengacara Beth Wilkinson tentang budaya tempat kerja tim pada musim panas 2021 yang mengakibatkan denda $10 juta. Itu dipicu oleh beberapa mantan karyawan yang mengatakan mereka dilecehkan secara seksual saat bekerja untuk tim.
Partai Republik mengatakan mereka akan segera membatalkan kasus tersebut begitu mereka mengambil kendali DPR pada awal 2023. Perwakilan Republik Kentucky James Comer, anggota peringkat komite pengawas DPR, menegaskan kembali keinginan itu dalam sebuah pernyataan Kamis, dengan mengatakan penyelidikan itu dimaksudkan untuk “dapatkan berita utama murahan dan abaikan informasi apa pun yang tidak sejalan dengan narasi yang telah ditentukan (Demokrat)”.
“Seperti yang saya katakan sejak awal, Komite Pengawas bukanlah tempat yang tepat untuk peninjauan ini dan upaya ini merupakan penyalahgunaan sumber daya,” kata Comer.
Snyder dan istrinya Tanya baru-baru ini menyewa Bank of America Securities untuk mengeksplorasi penjualan sebagian atau seluruh tim yang dimilikinya sejak 1999. Nilai para Komandan diperkirakan $5,6 miliar, menurut Forbes – peningkatan tujuh kali lipat dari rekor $800 juta yang dibayarkan Snyder saat itu untuk tim pada tahun 1999.
Bulan lalu, tim menyelesaikan dengan negara bagian Maryland, setuju untuk mengembalikan uang jaminan kepada mantan pemegang tiket musiman dan membayar denda $250.000. Beberapa hari sebelumnya, District of Columbia menggugat para Komandan di pengadilan sipil atas apa yang disebut skema untuk menipu uang pemegang tiket musiman.
