It’s been another hectic several days for the Washington Commanders. Last week, the Washington Post released a report suggesting Washington had committed alleged “financial improprieties.” The Commanders denied any wrongdoing.
The supposed “improprieties” were discovered during Congress’ investigation into the organization’s toxic workplace culture.
Over the weekend, A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports broke a story alleging Washington withheld ticket revenue from the 31 other NFL teams. NFL laws say every team must share 40% of its ticket sales.
As expected, the Commanders answered the latest accusations through a team spokesman via the Washington Post.
There has been absolutely no withholding of ticket revenue at any time by the Commanders. Those revenues are subject to independent audits by multiple parties. Anyone who offered testimony suggesting a withholding of revenue has committed perjury, plain and simple.
At this point, it’s important to remember that these are currently only accusations. We’ll keep you posted on any new updates regarding Congress’ investigation into the Commanders.
