NFL: Washington Football Team now the Washington Commanders

[GKJ]

North Dakota still has an arena named after a NeoNazi booster.

He actually threatened to pull the funding for the building when they first wanted to change the name.

 

[Halladay]

As a fan of a team in the division long live Jerruh health and may Daniel Snyder always own the football team.

Yep and then out of dumped all the money possible into that elephant because the rest of the money he donated would have gone to the school.

I think the reason I'm so opposed to this investigation is that Congress is wasting their time trying to reach a conclusion everyone already knows. We know the workplace bad. We don't need an investigation into it.

"Congress is obligated to examine corrupt workplaces."

1) this issue was already investigated by the nfl

2) the nfl found significant enough wrongdoing to punish Dan for what at the time was the "highest" fee in NFL history IIRC, as well as "suspend" Dan from Team operations

3) the culture has changed since then

I'm not sure what additional punishment Congress (if they even had the power to do so) or the NFL could do based on the Mary Jo White report, or the Congressional findings. So you spent over a year talking to Dan and Bruce and all these people, for what? "Guys, there's a bad culture in this organization. We need to expose it." IT WAS ALREADY EXPOSED BEFORE YOU STARTED THIS INVESTIGATION! YOU DIDN'T REVEAL ANY NEW INFORMATION!

Ex-chair rips House investigation of Commanders

A former chair of the House Oversight Committee sent a blistering nine-page letter to the current chair, picking apart the committee's investigation into the Commanders and attempting to cast doubt on the credibility of their witnesses.

This sham committe can't even get their facts straight. All they want to do is cast aspersions and blame. An utter waste of time.

 

[Blitzkrug]

You're opposed because you're a lowest common denominator Snyder dickrider.

It's basic lawyering 101. It's not exactly that everything said there discounts what has been said prior.

Sources: Snyder claims 'dirt' on NFL owners, Goodell

Multiple NFL sources say they've been told that embattled Commanders owner Dan Snyder instructed his law firms to hire private investigators to look into owners and league execs. His attorneys deny the allegations as "categorically false."

This is not surprising at all and essentially why they won't force him out. The Samson option.

Does he keep his file on Jerry Jones next to the file he has with naked photos of cheerleaders taken and shared by Snyder without their consent?

The culture has changed? How do you know this? Because Snyder tells you?

 

[Breakers]

Seth Wickerson is pretty legit.

Guy is good at his job working for ESPN.
He just clarifies everything

I always assumed Donald sterling was forced out by the owners which isn’t true, it was his wife removing him from the family trust.

So they are trying for:
1) debt waivers now
2) then potentially try to get 24 owners to vote

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Strange that he lost alleged Jerry Jones but they took a pic together and posted it on Twitter for Dallas-Washington a week ago.

 

[Breakers]

Ever since this guy allowed Blue level season ticket holders to travel to Mexico and watch the cheerleader photo shoot and watch them change you knew this guy is a complete cancer of a human being

 

[EpochLink]

This is gonna end very badly for Daniel Snyder, he’s gonna get his

The owners were all but guaranteed to push Sterling out; his (ex?) wife instead claimed he had dementia and as a result removed him from the decision making role he had, once her claims were held up by a court.

RE Wickerson - didn't he put put that story years ago saying how the Pats were going to release Brady and hand the team over to Jimmy G? Then he was traded like a couple months later.

Unless Snyder has some J Edgar Hoover level dirt on everyone else, I can't see this working out in his favour.

Challenging the NFL to go to war has never worked out well except for the union.

And they are still in the worst position of all four major sports.

It’s true.

[StreetHawk]

He’s not exactly the most respected owner either. So take it with a grain of salt.

In the end are there going to be 8/31 owners who won’t vote Snyder out?

GOP to end House review of Commanders in '23

The congressional investigation of the Commanders will end when Republicans take over early next year, according to the party's ranking member of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

That said, the investigation did unearth allegations of financial discrepancy which are further investigated by DC and VA AG. And they (even if they are disproven) are a huge deal for Dan to deal with, and probably the impetus for him selling the club. So in this case, the investigation probably hastened the ouster of Daniel.
