FILE - Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder walks off the field before the start of an NFL football game against Dallas Cowboys in Landover, Md., in this Sunday, Oct. 25, 2020. AP Sports Columnist Jim Litke says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to withhold a league investigation into the toxic culture at the Washington Football Team under owner Snyder has only made fans and now Congress more determined to get a glimpse.
