Anheuser-Busch, a key sponsor of the NFL, severed ties with the Washington Commanders on Friday, though no reason was cited for the decision. Anheuser-Busch, which has sponsored the NFL for a decade and also has partnerships with 26 other teams, said in a statement to the Washington Post that it had decided not to renew ties with Washington "at this time." It comes as the NFL, and Congress, continues to investigate owner Dan Snyder after new allegations of sexual misconduct were made two months ago. Whether that played a factor in the beer company's decision remains unknown. A website called boycottdan.com was started in February, designed to pressure sponsors into cutting ties with the franchise, drawing upon what its creators saw as a success in getting the name of the franchise changed. Snyder denied the allegations; the NFL's investigation into the matter remains ongoing.
