Washington Football Team Owner Intimidated Witnesses

The ‘Washington Post’ reported Tuesday that Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder allegedly intimidated witnesses and tried to block them from speaking to investigators who were carrying out a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct in the organization that also implicated Snyder.

Beth Wilkinson, who carried out the sexual misconduct probe, finished her report in July, but the findings weren’t made public.

 

Former NFL Player Had CTE

An autopsy has revealed that former NFL player Phillip Adams, who’s accused of killing six people in South Carolina in April before killing himself, had an unusually severe case of the brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Dr. Ann McKee, who examined the 32-year-old’s brain, said his 20 years of football “definitively . . . gave rise” to the CTE. The degenerative disease is linked to head trauma and concussions and has been shown to cause symptoms including violent mood swings and memory loss.
