owner Daniel Snyder did not join NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell in testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives' Oversight Committee on Wednesday, despite requests to do so. Now, he will be legally compelled to appear before Congre s. Commitee chairwoman Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) announced during Wednesday's hearing that she will i sue a subpoena for Snyder to testify at another deposition next week."Mr. Snyder's refusal to testify sends a clear signal that he is more concerned about protecting himself than coming clean to the American public," Felix Hernandez Jersey Maloney said. "If the NFL is unwilling to hold Mr. Snyder accountable, then I am prepared to do so. The Committee will not be deterred in its investigation to uncover the truth of workplace misconduct at the Washington Commanders."Goodell repeatedly countered Maloney's notion that Snyder has not been held accountable for his alleged role in Washington's punished workplace environment, arguing the NFL imposed "unprecedented" discipline on the Commanders for their conduct. He added that Snyder has not attended league meetings since the NFL officially wrapped its own investigation on misconduct inside the organization Denard Span Jersey , and that, "to the best of my knowledge," Snyder has not been involved in day-to-day operations of his own team.Even still, Maloney suggested Washington, and Snyder in particular, have not been properly disciplined for alleged oversight and involvement in a culture of widespread hara sment. She announced that the committee "uncovered evidence that Mr. Snyder conducted a shadow investigation to target his accusers, pin the blame on others, and influence the NFL's own internal review." She also said the committee's investigation "confirmed the Commanders secretly created lewd videos of cheerleaders for the private enjoyment of Daniel Snyder." Maloney introduced two pieces of legislation, the Accountability for Workplace Misconduct Act and Profe sional Images Protection Act, in response to the committee's findings related to Washington."(Rather) than show up and take responsibility for his actions," Maloney said of Snyder, "he chose to skip town. Apparently, Mr. Snyder is in France, where he has docked his luxury yacht near a resort town. That should tell you just how much respect he has for women in the workplace."Snyder's lawyer previously announced that the Commanders owner would be unable to attend Wednesday's hearing due to "a longstanding Commanders-related busine s conflict, but that Snyder "remains willing to cooperate with the Committee" during its investigation of Washington. The committee declined a previous request by Snyder's legal team to delay the hearing over additional concerns about the "questions (that would be) directed to Mr. Snyder." When asked if the Matt Festa Jersey NFL would commit to provide the full findings of its Washington investigation to the Oversight Committee, Goodell expre sed concerns over violating the privacy of anonymous victims who partook in the investigation. Maloney asked if Goodell would publicize documents from the Commanders investigation like the NFL did with a 2014 investigation into workplace conduct at the , but Goodell said "we made a commitment to protect (the) identities" of other accusers who remain anonymous.In the aftermath of the subpoena, Tanya and Dan Snyder, along with president Jason Wright where they highlighted the club's progre s over the last two years, while also acknowledging the criticisms that have rained down on the franchise."While we respect the Committee Guillermo Heredia Jersey 's desire to learn more about how workplace culture i sues can be addre sed, some of the comments in the media have portrayed our team in a harsh and negative manner that does not reflect who we are as an organization today," the statement reads. "Nor do they acknowledge that for the past two years we have been dedicated to making much needed and meaningful changes to our workplace culture and improving our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices team-wide." "... While the work on creating and maintaining a positive, empowering, and inclusive culture at the Washington Commanders will never be complete, we believe our record shows a genuine example of how quickly and comprehensively a transformation of culture can occur."Commanders head coach Ron Rivera also released Wednesday night, saying he was hired in January of 2020 not only to win games, but also change the culture of the Washington franchise -- something he said started on his first day on the job. He also reiterated his support for Wright and said that when the Wilkinson report was completed, the franchise had already put into place, or was in the proce s of putting in place, the suggestions that came from that report."These investigations into inappropriate workplace i sues pre-dates my employment," wrote Rivera. "I can not change the past, but I would hope that our fans, the NFL and Congre Justus Sheffield Jersey s can see that we are doing everything in our power to never repeat those workplace i sues. And know that our employees are respected, valued and can be heard."
