Congress says Washington Commanders appear to have broken financial laws, owe money to visiting teams, season-ticket holders
The U.S. House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission saying it found evidence the NFL's
Washington Commanders engaged in unlawful financial conduct.
In the letter obtained by The Associated Press, the committee said the team withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and refundable ticket deposits from season-ticket holders.
The committee said emails, documents and statements made by former employees indicate team executives and owner Dan Snyder engaged in "a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct."
The committee is sharing documents with the FTC while requesting the commission take any action necessary to make sure the money is returned to its rightful owners.
