Washington hires Donaldson as top female exec

The NFL’s Washington football team has hired Julie Donaldson to oversee all of its broadcasts as senior vice president of media, becoming the team’s highest-ranking female executive, it was announced Tuesday.

Donaldson will be part of Washington’s radio team, but she won’t be doing play-by-play. Former play-by-play announcer Larry Michael retired last week amid allegations of sexual harassment, as detailed by the Washington Post.
