Jerry Richardson was directly involved in the misconduct. He was personally implicated in making not only sexually harassing but also racist statements in the workplace. It’s a big leap from that to forcing an owner to sell on basically “lack of institutional control” grounds related to the behavior of employees outside of his presence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder is not pulling his weight on the revenue generation side, that's probably the bigger offense in the eyes of the other owners. Crappy teams, tarp-covered seats, anemic ticket sales and pissed off advertisers/sponsors + this latest debacle put little Danny in the cross hairs He's not a big enough man to do the right thing, so they might have to make him an offer he can't refuse.

From your lips (fingers?) to God’s ears... I think that certainly is the best hope. It’s one of the fastest growing markets in the country, and it has always been one of the most prominent and valuable franchises in the league — and he’s driving fans away in droves. If they get an opening, in the form of personal misconduct on Snyder’s part, I’m sure there will be owners pushing for an ouster. Particularly (perhaps) if they begin to sense they have a chance to get Amazon’s money into the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 50 minutes ago, e16bball said: And why would the federal government investigate this? What crime has occurred? Never mind that these 3-letter organizations serve at the pleasure of a person who is in a similar posture as most NFL owners — what crime has been alleged here that would suggest a federal investigation? Sexual harassment and being a gross, chauvinistic pig aren’t illegal acts. Maybe you could make an assault charge out of Alex Santos pinching Rhiannon Walker on the hip, but the authorities in Ashburn are more than capable of prosecuting that to its full extent (a little unsupervised probation and an eventual expungement, most likely). your wrong Sexual harassment is illegal. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”) makes it illegal for employers to allow anyone to be sexually harassed at work by anyone else, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment can happen to anyone. It is about power, not sexual desire. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we’re past the semantics Olympics, perhaps we can move on to addressing/digesting the actual point, which is that the FBI and DOJ don’t investigate workplace sexual harassment claims.

resilient part 2 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) first time catching up today in this news story and it seems like the bombshell is no where near as bad as some have said it would be.. might still be bad, but I was expecting Armageddon or something.

Thus the problem with the snowball effect. By the time we were done, you'd think Dan Snyder was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Osama Bin Laden. The allegations that did come out are bad enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodo Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 WAS fans could've taken a massive W if they had accepted the name change and pushed for Snyder to go for defending the name all these years amid all his other sleaze. This story could've pushed him out for good (and deserves to, but I doubt it does) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
