Outgoing Washington Commanders' owner Dan Snyder was fined $60 million after the NFL found he sexually harassed employees and deliberately hid millions of dollars in revenue from other teams, the league said Thursday.
The big picture: The NFL released the findings of an independent investigation into Snyder's conduct minutes after NFL owners voted to approve the sale of the Commanders.
The NFL team owners voted unanimouslyon Thursday to approve of private equity executive Josh Harris acquiring the Washington Commanders from current owner Dan Snyder, the league said in a statement.
Why it matters: The $6 billion deal is the largest ever for a pro sports team and ends an ownership tenure that included more scandals than playoff wins.
Details: The ninth edition is the first to feature 32 teams (up from 24). It's also the first held in the Southern Hemisphere and across two nations, with Australia and New Zealand co-hosting.
Major League Baseball just experienced an offensive explosion not seen in 129 years.
What happened: 12 teams scored double-digit runs on Tuesday, tying May 30, 1884, for the second-most in one day and trailing only July 4, 1894, when 13 teams did it.
