'False': Roger Goodell Announces Why He's Not Releasing WFT Investigation Findings, Cheerleaders Are Furious

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who's paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million a year by owners to take bullets for the league and protect the interests of billionaires, announced Tuesday that the league will not be releasing the findings from an investigation into the Washington Football Team.

Goodell, who began his NFL career straight out of college as an intern at the league offices, stood in front of media members Tuesday night and told them -- with a straight face -- that the NFL would not be releasing its investigation findings because some of the employees who came forward requesting the investigation had asked for anonymity.

The commissioner said that Snyder had been "held accountable" and that's that.

In a video posted by Nicki Jhabvala, Goodell explained his decision.




























As for his stance on not releasing the findings due to anonymity, Goodell was fully prepared to shut down the media and the cheerleaders who are begging for the report to be made public.













We were told our identities would be kept confidential in a written report," she wrote Tuesday night. "Meaning, if I spoke about something that happened to me, there would be no way Dan or others could trace the info back to me. Not that there would be no written report. C'mon."



My clients did not ask the NFL for 'protection' when they participated in the investigation. They asked for transparency and accountability —and received neither," the attorney tweeted.
