The Washington Commanders are under scrutiny for their workplace culture and accusations of pervasive sexual harassment by team executives of women employees, but the National Football League has no power to remove the owner.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing with the testimony of the commissioner. At one point during the testimony, Tlaib asked if the league was willing to do more to punish the governor.
After asking if he would recommend the removal of the Commanders' owner, Tlaib asked if he would be removed from his position.
"I don't have the power to remove him," she said.
The only way to remove an owner from the league is by a majority vote of the other owners.
He declined to testify due to concerns about due process. During the hearing, the committee chair said she would issue a subpoena to get him to testify.
The National Football League is unwilling or unable to hold Mr. I am going to issue a subpoena for him to give a deposition next week. The committee will continue to investigate the Washington Commanders.
The team's culture has changed as a result of an investigation led by an attorney, according to the committee.
The National Football League fined the team $10 million last year and the team's owner, Danskin, stepped away from his day-to-day operations. The league did not release a written report of the findings because they wanted to protect the privacy of former employees.
