“As recently as Monday, a lawyer for the team met with the AG who did not suggest at that time that he intended to take any action and, in fact, revealed fundamental misunderstandings of the underlying facts. It is unfortunate that, in his final days in office, Mr. Racine appears more interested in making splashy headlines, based on offbeat legal theories, rather than doing the hard work of making the streets safe for our citizens, including bringing to justice the people who shot one of our players.”
The Commanders have been plagued by one workplace scandal after another for the past decade and beyond. Earlier this month, team owner Daniel Snyder hired Bank of America “to consider potential transactions” for the franchise — a move that from the outside has felt like a major step toward selling the team.
Robinson’s agent Ryan Williams was not happy that his client was invoked in this matter.
“Up until an hour ago, the Commanders handled the Brian Robinson situation with so much care, sincerity and class,” Williams tweeted. “And I was so grateful for all of it. Although I know that there are some great humans in that building, whoever is hiding behind this statement is not one of them.”
