Washington Football Team unveils new radio crew

By Jack Pointer

The Burgundy and Gold have their new radio team.

Former ESPN-er Bram Weinstein and longtime Washington defensive back DeAngelo Hall will join Julie Donaldson in the booth on game day.

Weinstein worked from 2008 to 2015 at the network, where he hosted “SportsCenter” as well as “NFL Kickoff” and “College Football Live.” The new play-by-play voice is also a fan of the local team, and is currently the host of “The Bram Weinstein Show” on ESPN 630.

“This is the fulfillment of a dream,” the American University grad said in a team statement Tuesday afternoon. “This is also an exciting time to start with so much change happening in and around the franchise.”

Hall, a three-time Pro Bowler, played 10 of his 15 NFL seasons in Washington.

Since his retirement a few years ago, the Chesapeake, Virginia, native has appeared on NBC Sports Washington, NFL Network and Fox Sports 1.

“While I loved my time playing for Washington for the better part of 10 years, there is more I would have liked to have accomplished for the fans,” said the team’s new radio analyst. “This opportunity will allow me to make a lasting impact in a different way.”

Weinstein and Hall replace Chris Cooley and Larry Michael in the booth.

Joining them will be Donaldson, the first woman to be a regular on-air member of an NFL radio booth. The team’s new senior vice president of media and content — announced last month — has been a familiar voice to local sports fans, with over a decade at NBC Sports Washington.

And, in the team’s statement Tuesday, she had nothing but praise for her new teammates.

“With DeAngelo’s experience as the Pro-Bowl ‘eyes’ of our defense for a decade … and Bram’s tenures as a sports broadcaster and a Washington football fan, we’ll be able to relate to and involve the players and the fans like never before,” Donaldson said.

Fans can hear the team for the first time Sept. 13, when the Washington Football Team welcomes the Philadelphia Eagles to FedEx Field.

Report: Sexual harassment claim against Dan Snyder-backed Native American charity

By JP Finlay
Report: Sexual harassment claim against Dan Snyder-backed charity originally appeared on NBC Sports WashingtonIn what seems like a never-ending series of sexual harassment allegations against the Washington Football Team, a new report from The Washington Post shows a 2014 sexual harassment claim against the executive of the former Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation.Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Football Team, started the Original Americans Foundation in 2014 with a pledge of "making a real, lasting, positive impact" for Native American tribal communities. Some saw the creation of the foundation as a transparent attempt to quiet growing pressure and controversy surrounding the team's former Redskins nickname. Regardless, months after the creation of the foundation, a female employee lodged a formal complaint to Washington's human resources alleging sexual harassment by the foundation's executive director Gary Edwards. The Post published excerpts of the 2014 letter that alleged the complaint:  The complaint prompted an investigation, but a former foundation employee quoted in the story said it was anything but complete.  Eventually the harassment claim made its way to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission where after mediation the female employee received a financial settlement and signed a non-disclosure agreement, according to the report. The team refused to release the alleged victim from the NDA when requested by the Post.The latest allegations come after a series of investigative reports from The Post showing a pervasive culture of abuse and harassment from former Washington Football executives towards women.The NFL is now conducting its own investigation into the culture created inside the football team and the level of knowledge of owner Dan Snyder. The problems don't end there, as 40 percent of the team is up for sale as former business partners of Snyder want to sell their shares. Snyder is fighting that sale in court, and Washington's owner also has his own investigation and lawsuits ongoing due to slanderous misinformation spread this summer that linked him to the late criminal pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Washington has overhauled most of its business operation this year, including hiring new team president Jason Wright and a new human resources director.Wright has been very clear that he wants a full investigation into all of the misdeeds of the past and that this is a new day for the Washington Football organization.
