A new report reveals the Washington Commanders are being accused of not giving the NFL ticket revenue that is supposed to be shared with other teams.
According to Front Office Sports Senior Reporter AJ Perez, the House Oversight Committee is now investigating.
FOX 5’s Sierra Fox spoke with D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton who says not only is Congress investigating allegations of sexual assault with the Washington Commanders, but now financial issues have come up.
Specific details about the nature of the problems haven’t been released besides the ticket sales scheme being reported, and she just can’t believe the team would do something so blatant.
“It’s a first-class indication of cheating. So I can’t imagine why they would not pass along ticket sales, but again it’s a team that’s not noted for its honesty or full-fledge dealings. Nevertheless, this is so obvious,” Del. Norton said.
A Washington Commanders Spokesperson sent FOX 5 this statement:
“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.” Read more at Fox 5 DC.
