Yeah, I'd say we've reached the "self-immolation" phase of this whole thing.Totally stonewalling….
The harder they fight it, the more I see a glimmer that they could somehow penalize Snyder more…..
At a minimum, suspend him (and all family members) from having any contact with the team…not allowed to attend games, participate in any of the day to day operations…..18-24 months.
If they can’t convince him he’s unwanted by the league and to sell for a nice sum and move on….
I think Allen is probably hoping that same common sense would keep people from assuming he’s a Nazi sympathizer too, given a pretty clear personal investment in the whole “master race” thing but who can say anymore.I think your reaching a bit to start an argument. Just like Allen should use common sense to send that tweet, I think you can use common sense to realize nobody (including gOOn) is supporting a pedophile. Besides there are levels of bad. A man on death row for killing another person, is not the same as a man who killed millions because he hated other races.
The best news, is that all of this will be managed by the exact same people who investigated the first issue. They will have a running start on what the previous investigation hid, and why it was hidden. Should make it far easier to determine why that fist investigation was blocked from public distribution, so that the same people can think through their previous decisions.Dan Snyder will launch an investigation into why the team is refusing to release the documents from the last investigation.
We'll get to the bottom of all this some day.
With out luck, it will take out Goodell and Snyder will survive. Just like every previous scandal.And if the whole NFL + WFT collusion on the Wilkinson report ends up taking Goodell down along with Snyder? The entire football-loving public will owe us an enormous debt of gratitude.

I don’t really like the side of the fence this conversation is keeping me on but, like… maybe some people don’t want to sit down with someone they completely agree with. Maybe it’s just not interesting to everyone to meet their heroes (and then find out they may also suck), but some of our culture’s more maligned figures.
That’s okay. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with answering a hypothetical that way
basically. I can see why you wouldn’t want to say it, I can see why you’d never think you had to be that clear too.I get what you're saying, and I personally don't feel too upset about the tweet. I think in a vacuum most would assume he is just fascinated with someone who could be such a powerful force with words. But with what has gone on with this team, I would hope one of our captains would have more situational awareness. Its just a bad look when added too all the other crap IMO
basically. I can see why you wouldn’t want to say it, I can see why you’d never think you had to be that clear too.
The real win would have been the three man list, Hitler, Michael Jackson, and Dan Snyder
There was a hilarious SNL skit back in the 90s with George Steinbrenner, alongside Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein, pitching UltraSlimFast. Can't find the video of it, but George kept asking why he was grouped in with the other three famous mass murderers. Your comment reminded me of that skit.
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and there’s a bunch of talk about the other owners potentially being done with Snyder. Florio had a whole segment on it on live TV. There’s actual smoke here.
