Congress is asking questions of the NFL. Here's what it means, and what might happen next

For more than three months, attorneys Lisa Banks, Debra Katz and their clients called on the NFL to release a detailed report on the findings of its investigation into a toxic workplace culture within the Washington Football Team. They released statements blasting Commissioner Roger Goodell. They sent letters to NFL sponsors and team owners. And at every turn, the league resisted their calls. 

Then, members of Congress got involved.

A little less than two weeks ago, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., sent a letter to Goodell, asking him to turn over documents pertaining to both the Washington Football Team probe and the league's general use of non-disclosure agreements. The deadline is Thursday.
