Woz Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 3 hours ago, naptownskinsfan said: Can @Thaiphoon or @Woz move the posts about the business ops firings into their own thread? I came in here on my break at work to discuss them and I thought there would be a thread. These are big news, especially LaFemina, who left a cushy job in the league office to take the reigns of the Redskins business operations. He was one of the bright stars in the NFL as far as business circles were concerned, and I thought he did a great job of the #wehail program, getting a fresh coat of paint in the stadium, adding the open air bar in 115 and finally getting Snyder to stop selling tickets to brokers. Done. And @Thaiphoon, don't think I didn't see you like this post ... and then leave me to do the clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the marketing isn't the main problem. It's the football operations' side that is causing all of the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if they won consistently they wouldn’t have a marketing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had long-term sustained success like the Eagles, Steelers or Ravens, we would have another wait list again that was legitimate this time.

You're right. Again, I don't want to "like" this post. It's completely correct in its read but utterly depressing in its contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiphoon Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 2 hours ago, lavar703 said: Unless I’m mistaken, the owners do not “own” the league. They own the teams, which can be forced out of the NFL. The NFL itself operates as a non-profit organization and the teams themselves are operated as businesses with their revenue taxed. They’re two separate entities. Yes and No. The league does have language where they can force an owner to sell for "conduct detrimental to the league". They were considering it recently against Jerry Jones for how he was handling the Elliott suspension. But if an owner wants to run his own team into the ground? As long as the checks clear and its not really costing the other owners that much, they couldn't care less. Remember, while they are business partners, they are also competitors.

And I posted another tweet where Thom Loverro confirmed it, and he has a mountain of contacts from his years of covering this team. This is nuts.

Got to give Bruce Allen credit: only a complete scum bucket could successfully use the Reuben Foster to consolidate power. Of course, when you are selling the idea to another scum bucket, maybe it isn't that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually wondering which corporate group it was, and if they drop their sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems afflicting the Redskins aren't really from a marketing perspective. Shows Snyder definitely hasn’t changed no matter what we hear.
