    Sally Jenkins: "Dan doesn't have a single supporter among the owners. Not one." Radio interview right now. "If I'm an NFL owner, I want him out, and I want him out tomorrow."

    Statement from Snyder being read right now. Most ridiculous line: "I have been too hands off as an owner," LMAO!!!! Unreal.

    I would agree if it wasn't for the video. I think the video is at a different level. If they can prove Snyder ordered that, that to me is incredibly damaging. That's messing with the NFL itself, not just someone in the building.

    You don't get it. It doesn't have to be a "crime." It has to be enough for the NFL owners to think that the guy is a detriment to the league to such a degree that they feel he is hurting their business. We're not talking about sending Snyder to jail here. Just getting him out of the league. There should be plenty there to do that right now. Whether they will or not, we'll see.

    You CAN, but that doesn't give you even remotely an accurate indication of what you're dealing with. There's a huge difference between how you view someone who's committed one offense vs. someone who's got a long track record of crimes under their belt. Saying he's "a ****ty owner" and leaving it at that doesn't even come close to adequately describing what we're dealing with here. "****ty owner" doesn't necessarily equate to "****ty human." Or do the things he's being accused of in this article. That video deal is skirting very close to an actual crime. What he's stacked up for himself at this point goes well beyond just being a "****ty owner." I guarantee you the NFL is going to look at the entire picture when they start thinking about what they need to do with this guy. And that picture doesn't just include present and past now, but future.

    Again, you have to take all this in context of the entire Dan Snyder Catalogue. You can't just look at the incidents in an isolated way. If this was the first issue with Snyder, there would probably be a far less chance of something happening. You're right, no one knows at this point what it will take to finally get him out, and this may not do it, but if I'm part of the NFL owners group. I'm ready to pull the trigger on this douche. You now have an EVER-GROWING collection of scandals and stories, and there's a trend here: they seem to be getting worse and more and more people are coming forward. The Post guy even said they are still pursuing new leads. This is not going to stop anytime soon, and every time this happens, the NFL takes a hit. Forcing a guy like Snyder out would be met with universal acclaim for the most part. There is literally ZERO downside for the league to force him out at this point, although I'm sure that would not happen without an investigation of their own. The longer they let this linger, the worse things look for them.

    I agree, but at some point, you have to look at things from a simple standpoint of right and wrong. This "man" should not own this team. I am at the point where I would accept new everything if it gets rid of Snyder. I think the three you mentioned would have a good chance of sticking around. If not, I couldn't care less if it means we lose Dan.

    I think "their club" is important here. What has Snyder done to "their club"? All of these things reflect HORRIBLY on "their club." Kraft did something wrong and embarrassing, but he's a great owner from the football side of things, and what he did was a reflection on him and him alone. It was something done outside the organization. Here we have incidents involving NFL CHEERLEADERS, as well as the people working in the building. I don't know, people keep comparing this to Kraft, but I see a huge difference here. That, plus the fact that there's NO WAY Snyder is liked by these guys. His actions as reported in this story, just the next in a chain that ends who knows where, are hurting ALL owners and the NFL as a whole. That's a big difference in my eyes. If this was the mafia, someone would be inviting little Danny out for a "fun ride."

    It depends on what the alternative is. If this goes to trial, and it comes down to it was either Larry or Dan who asked these to be made, that truth will come out. I hope. If Dan did ask for it, which I believe, then Larry - if he chooses to take the fall - will basically be totally destroying what's left of his reputation, possibly ruining his family, possibly being on the hook for millions ... and if all he has to do to avoid that is say, "Yeah, it was Dan" ... I don't know, that may not be that hard of a choice, no matter how much money he's been paid so far. It'll be interesting, for sure.

    Listening to the reporter on 980 is interesting, especially with this video thing. So they have two people from different years talking about different videos, all of them showing nude cheerleaders from the calendar shoots. Apparently this wasn't a one-time thing. Both say that they were told that Snyder asked Larry to have these made, and then Larry told the subordinates to make them. One other person said that Larry didn't mention Snyder when he was told to make them. The reporter then said that question will have to be answered, because lawsuits are about to happen. So this could get even more interesting ... will Larry take the fall for his boss, like some kind of mafia goon? Or will he flip and admit it was Snyder who asked for these? If Larry takes the blame, he'll probably be the one who gets sued. Man, I want to stop thinking about these scenarios. Enjoy the ongoing spectacle, NFL.

    We are way past that now. History shows us that he will NEVER let people just "do their thing." He is the source of all that is wrong with this team and will continue to be, and this will never, ever, ever end as long as he's still there. That's why the NFL would be insane not to act. If they want to keep dealing with these gut shots to their operation because of one pathetic, little man, I guarantee they're going to get them. Eventually, they are going to have to be considered complicit in all this. Might be there already.

    People I've sent the link to said it was free. I got it early and it did ask for a subscription, but it was $1 for four weeks, and I can cancel any time. But others have told me it's free, so I don't know. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/08/26/redskins-cheerleaders-video-daniel-snyder-washington/?arc404=true

    This isn't a court of law, so they don't necessarily NEED a smoking gun to act here, even though I think this article is VERY close to being a smoking gun. From what I glean from the article, the Post HAS this video that's talked about. You've got two people in the article saying it was demanded by Snyder, one on the record. You've got a third saying Larry asked for it, but why would anyone believe Larry would ask for some produced video for himself? He probably could've just grabbed those clips any time he wanted to. Then you've got specific comments from a woman saying Snyder asked her to join his friend in a hotel room. You've got SCORES of women (and some men) talking about the horrible culture there, you've got ANOTHER cheerleader scandal from just a few years ago, you've got the shrinking market of the team to the point of embarrassment ... why WOULD the NFL want this guy around at this point?? They have to be insane to not force him out. This story in particular isn't going to just disappear after a week like the last one did. There are going to be HUGE lawsuits here from the cheerleaders. Those will go on for months/years. During that time, you think nothing else is going to come out? Stories like these tend to inspire more to come forward. I bet we haven't even seen the worst of it yet. Even this story says that people were inspired to come out after the last story. What's coming next? The NFL is INSANE not to act decisively and harshly right now. Yes, I desperately want that to happen, but I'm hearing plenty of non-fans saying the same thing.
  14. Dissident2
    It doesn't.
  15. Dissident2
    20 ****ing years of this garbage, and it gets worse every year. I WANT MY ****ING TEAM BACK! The NFL MUST ACT ON THIS! /allcaps
  16. Dissident2
    I couldn't disagree more. Number one, If it's true he asked for the video of the cheerleaders nude, that in and of itself should be enough to get him to sell. That would get any CEO fired. Then all the other things in this story (asking a woman to join his friend in his hotel room), COMBINED with everything in the past and who the hell knows what's to come .... ? The NFL already looks bad for doing basically nothing about the cheerleader scandal from a few years ago. If they don't act now, with all this ... it's just incomprehensible. A man everyone hates. A man who consistently makes the NFL look bad. A man who has single-handedly turned a once proud franchise into a DEBASED culture now ... not even a "laughing stock" anymore .... how this can not get the NFL to act would be utterly beyond me. I don't know if I can continue to even support the sport if they don't at this point.
  17. Dissident2
    This article is UNBELIEVABLE! If this doesn't force the NFL to force a change, I cannot continue rooting for a team run by this UTTERLY DISGUSTING group of people. I just can't. This is an embarrassment to EVERYONE who's ever loved this team. Absolutely disgusting. Read this full article. And I'm sure this isn't even the end of this.

    Was really hoping Cooley would stick around for a long time. Really loved his insights. Had a "Riggins-esque" personality, too. A little off the rails. Very good at what he did, imo. Never enjoyed Bram, DHall is meh, not sure what Julie will bring at this point. Gonna miss Doc on the sidelines, too. His schtick gets a little annoying on the radio, but thought it was perfect for a game environment.

    That's exactly what happened. You know what they say, roaches can't stand the light. Lafemina was shining that light on the organization, starting with the whole "the waiting list is a lie" thing. Those roaches were getting tired of scattering, so Lafemina had to go and darkness had to fall again. Darkness and light can't coexist. One has to always overtake the other. Hopefully "light" will have its revenge in the near future.

    He's so full of ****, really. I've heard too many firsthand accounts of shenanigans there. Whether he was involved in any "sexual abuse" or harassment personally, I have no idea. But that place has been a nest of vipers for about as long as he's owned it. Just truly awful people creating a truly awful working environment. He sets the tone for that environment, and the Post article alludes to that. Sadly, so little can be proven. His "statement" makes me sick, as it's not born out of any legitimate desire to fix a wrong, but it's total CYA mentality. I just don't know if I can do this anymore. Jesus Christ, this guy. I want to officially apologize again to the people I used to argue/debate with on the Redskins newsgroup back in 1999/2000 who swore these days were coming with this guy as our owner. In my defense, that was during the first couple years of his reign of failure. How anyone's still on board at this point is beyond me.
  21. Dissident2
    LMAO. Oh, Scott. You didn't know because you were too busy giving "scoops" to certain reporters.
  22. Dissident2
    I'm not going to question the man's integrity, but I am definitely questioning his instincts and ability to smell a rat. Quite frankly, the consistent praise Gibbs has given Snyder over the years - despite the results, the drama, the scandals, etc. - has disappointed me. Makes it seem like he's simply out of touch with reality or else easily hoodwinked by a different side of Snyder that's shown to very few others.
  23. Dissident2
    Before reading the above tweet citing SM defending Snyder: "McCloughan was railroaded." After: "Stupid drunk."

    Ok, that's the first time I've ever seen a video interview conducted by a 10-year old while the interviewee is sitting in a barber chair getting his hair cut. Props. The Dundee for "Worst Audio Ever" goes to ....
  25. Dissident2
    What does the video show? Is it up somewhere?
