Four hours after the Commander's organization secured the advancement it had developed within the last two years, Coach Ron Rivera performed the same.

Washington hired Ron Rivera in 2020 to help clear all the chaos.

Ron Rivera took over as head coach and took the lead role of the franchise, and during his time, the team changed its name twice, but it has not replaced its owner, so the stain — and the stench — is still there.

Ron Rivera uploaded a lengthy message on social media, quoting, as the team's statement did, the amendments the team has made over the last two years.

Ron Rivera wrote, "With all due approval to the happenings, I want to shed light on a few things." "When Dan and Tanya Snyder were under the procedure of appointing me, they said me to perform two things — GET VICTORY! And support us in replacing our culture. So to be understandable, on Jan. 2, 2020, the day I was finally appointed, we began putting Palpable protocols into our attempts to correct inappropriate workplace problems and enhance our workplace environment accurately. The Snyders were very conscious in searching for the best guy to tackle the business side, and I was asked throughout the process. We all admitted that Jason Wright was the best guy, not only because he checked off a box as a minority, but because of his involvement and experience as an NFL player, his education, and work experience as a partner with McKinsey & Co. Jason has been nothing but special in selecting a talented and diverse group of people to handle the business side. By the drop of 2020, the organization saw many new standards set in areas and protocols for employees to voice and address any kind of problem, as well as setting an NFC East division winning team on the ground. When the report of Wilkinson was completed in spring 2021 on behalf of the NFL, our organization had already put into areas or was in the process of applying the advice listed in the report.

"These investigations into inappropriate workplace issues pre-dates my employment. I cannot change the past, but I would hope that our fans, the NFL, and Congress can see that we are doing everything in our power to never repeat those workplace issues. And know that our employees are respected, valued and can be heard."

"These inquiries into the unsuitable workplace problems are related to my pre-employment dates. I can't change the past, but I would wish that our fans, the NFL, and Congress can see that we are performing each thing in our power to never redo these issues in the workplace. And know that our employees are honored, admired, and can be heard.

Ron Rivera is the great thing to occur to the franchise in a long interval, but as far as Dan Snyder remains the owner of the Commanders, the past is unlikely to be in the real sense of the word.
