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. Snyder was forced to step away from day-to-day operations and the team was fined $10 million, but the severity of the punishment — and Goodell's insistence on secrecy — has only served to convince some the violations must be worse.
