The report came shortly after its owners voted unanimously to approve the sale of the Commanders by Snyder to Josh Harris for $6.05 billion.

The league explained in a statement that Snyder "will pay the league $60 million, or approximately 1% of that sale price, in consideration of Ms. White's findings and the resolution of all outstanding matters."

League commissioner Roger Goodell made a statement that, "The conduct attested to in Ms. White's findings has no place in the NFL."
