Ok what the hell is happening with the Washington NFL team?

[TheSpecialJuan]

The Washington Post reports 15 former female employees have alleged sexual harassment during their time working for the Washington football team. 

Of the 15, only former marketing coordinator Emily Applegate was able to speak on the record. Most of the rest are apparently bound by non-disclosure agreements, with the team refusing to grant their release. The allegations date from as far back as 2006 to 2019. The Post summarizes the allegations as falling into two categories: "Unwelcome overtures or comments of a sexual nature, and exhortations to wear revealing clothing and flirt with clients to close sales deals." Three of the men accused in the article — ex-radio announcer Larry Michael, former director of pro personnel Alex Santos and former assistant director of pro personnel Richard Mann II — have already been fired. The team has hired a law firm to "conduct a thorough independent review of this entire matter and help the team set new employee standards for the future.” Sure. The allegations only further highlight what has been obvious to almost any football observer over the past 20 years: Daniel Snyder is not fit to own a team in the National Football League.

Richard Mann II is a pervert.

I know lasted year they fired over 50 people, Danny would be finished if not for NDAs. Heard many times years before that Washington was by far the worst run org, while many named the browns/beaguals.

Amen, Megan. 

There were a LOT of reporters out there all week being giddy and teasing that they knew what was about to go down.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the allegations aren't justified but there seems to be a lot of recent  pile on  by these women, since everyone has  really been critical and down on  Snyder for fighting  to not change the teams name. 

Not unusual in a society that has routinely downplayed women's complaints of sexual harassment in the workplace.  Each women being treated as if she is an aberration from the norm rather than part of a systemic issue.

I can’t even. Imagine being this desperate... and obviously whatever other control/power trip issues he has. I’ll never understand. 

[NanuqoftheNorth]

NDA's often delay/prevent an end to this sort of poor behavior as we saw with Jerry Richardson.

These guys have plenty of money to burn, but maintaining their public reputations is priceless.

If Dan Snyder gets Richardson'd, Ron Rivera will never get another job in the NFL.

He will be branded the NFL Owner Kiss Of Death.

Lol. How lame. In fairness, that chick is clearly stringing the loser along to get poo in that example.

Washington would have an owner prepped to buy if Synder is forced to sell. Jeff Bezos is ready and waiting.

I normally agree with Bomani, but he's wrong here. He's trying to deflect blame on message board trolls instead of the reporters who built up the hype with all of their "look at me, I know and y'all don't!" tweets.
