BigD1123 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I would be less surprises to find out these firings were the people creating the hostile work place. Than I would to find out Mark was. This is literally the first I've heard of anyone saying anything negative about Mark's character. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp the part about the female employees being harassed Washington 2.0 A guy that was allegedly involved in a money laundering/tax fraud scheme while running the team making a very broad accusation is not the same as the owner of the team pimping out cheer leaders, lol.

Than I would to find out Mark was. This is literally the first I've heard of anyone saying anything negative about Mark's character. It seems like Ventrelle was honestly similar to Rich, he took over after Badain resigned suddenly last summer when the news broke that our accounting was off and the IRS was potentially going to investigate the team. When Badain resigned so did CFO Ed Villanueva, Senior VP of Strategy and Business Dev Brandon Doll, and controller Araxie Grant. We also just lost the leader of our operations/analytics team and the president of HR. I think the front office was involved in some shady business, the IRS investigation raised the red flags for Mark, and now he's cleaning house. Being in Vegas provides so much more potential to generate revenue. Do you think Mark really wants to keep the same guys his dad hired two decades ago in Oakland that were allegedly laundering money/involved in shady business? I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tax part about is because they stole so much money from the Raiders that the Raiders were underreporting revenue and now have a huge tax bill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was apart of the front office while all of that happened and was only promoted to president after our former president and a bunch of his staff resigned due to the allegations. I don't think it's a coincidence that the move happened almost immediately after the NFL draft, right around the same time we also replaced a bunch of our scouts, etc. I think Mark wants a fresh start but we needed to keep our infrastructure intact while we were making moves in free agency/preparing for the draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the NFL owners I think possibly the only trustworthy ones are Arthur Blank and Mark Davis....... I'd say Davis is one of the only ones that people would probably try to take advantage of because Mark didn't get Al's experiences. Al was the way he was because of his experiences. Mark heard about them but I had to learn from my own mistakes not those of my siblings or parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilshark69 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Exactly, imo it’s sour grapes BS and nothing more. I refuse to believe MD would just dismiss valid complaints. That’s not just blind faith, I’m 53 for cryin out loud. Lol. I mean some of these stroke master writers have mentioned grudens scandal in the same articles..... that’s ludicrous, that scandal came from the commanders scandal when he was working for ESPN for sh*ts sake!! Some of these hacks couldn’t hide their raider hate in a nuke silo!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows Davis is not involved in day to day stuff. Davis spends 90% of his time getting bowl cuts, buying new flip phones, eating at Guy Fieri's, and watching the LV Aces. No way he has time to spend all day at the office to see what's really going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know him personally because I don't. Why haven't any of these women come forward? He makes the claims after getting fired why didn't the NFL step in he claims he reported it many times. So we will see. Edited May 11, 2022 by raidr4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
