NFL slaps Washington Football Team with $10 million fine for systemic sexual harassment

Washington, July 3 (RHC)-- The National Football League, the NFL, has issued a $10 million fine to the Washington Football Team following a probe into widespread sexual harassment, which was perpetuated by the team’s managers and executives. 

The NFL found repeated instances of bullying and intimidation, with many women employees reporting harassment and a lack of respect while at work. The reports of misconduct date back as far as 2004.

In related news, the Boy Scouts of America has reached an $850 million settlement with tens of thousands of people who were sexually abused as scouts.  It’s the largest settlement of a child sexual abuse case in U.S. history. 

More than 84,000 people have joined lawsuits against the Boy Scouts, with claims that sexual abuse was an “unspoken norm” within the organization since the 1960s.
