As a Washington Post story exposing reported sexual harassment in the Washington football organization was shared on Thursday, former Washington linebacker LaVar Arrington took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the situation.
Arrington, who spent six seasons playing for the team, tweeted a photo of other journalists' reports on the story prior to its release and stated that there was more going on than what would be shared.

Never said all the intimate details of how bad things were. But from what I hear what's coming out is only one messed up category there are more.

Arrington noted that the factors he's alluding to are what made him pay Washington $4.4 million in 2006 to earn his free agency.
The former linebacker is not the only player who spent time in Washington to recently speak up. Former cornerback Josh Norman tweeted "what goes around comes around," early Thursday morning.
In the midst of the name change for the franchise, this storyline makes the situation in Washington even more hectic.
