Washington, DC attorney general Karl Racine announced his office is filing suit against Washington Commanders (NFL) owner Dan Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Commanders and the NFL for "colluding to deceive the residents of DC" on their workplace climate. The charges stem from evidence of the Commanders underreporting ticket revenue to the NFL and withholding security deposit money from fans.
Ahead of this announcement, Snyder put the Commanders up for sale. Interested parties include Jeff Bezos, Jay-Z and Matthew McConaughey. The team could sell for upwards of $7B. THAT MAY PAY FOR THE LAWYER BILLS

It was considered a health risk for women to run distances as their uterus might fall out, along with other medical disasters. CAN'T KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN
