Mr. Sinister Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So I'm beginning to wonder if these firings were a way for the team to try to get out in front of whatever this bomb is that's about to drop. As we all know, Snyder never does anything because it's actually the right thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owns a damn NFL football team. Just drowning in money. Then, you have this newspaper owned by the richest man alive. The paper is a ****ing side project. Like, he just tosses some change down and says, “Go report news.” That’s how rich this ****ing guy is. Like, this guy could buy Snyder’s team 100 times over if he wanted. This guy makes your wealth look like the wealth of a poor person scraping by paycheck to paycheck living in a one-bedroom apartment. And this guy’s side project newspaper is about to turn your life upside down and there is nothing you can do about it but wait. With your NFL football team and your mega yacht with a movie theater, you just wait for the richest man alive’s pet project to tear your ass a new one. Just imagine it.

Commander -JB- Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So reports on Twitter are saying a report is coming out tomorrow that is going to be sickening and bad for the organization. For the love if God please let this force Snyder to sell the damn franchise!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of ironic after the Enquirer tried to extort Bezos. If this is the case I guess he really wants the team. Honestly it would probably be good for the fans, he can drop tons of bucks on facilities etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’ve read is that WaPo’s lawyers are all over this thing and that’s holding it up. Frankly we’re all guessing at this point, but for multiple people close to the team to report that this article is bigger news than the name change, i have to believe its a huge deal. And given the timing of the personnel changes (weeks before camp opens), i also share the opinion it’s all related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Post has long been an adversary to the team. Now if the chips fall that way, I won’t be mad. Bezos is probably 1,000 times the owner that Snyder is.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 3 hours ago, TrancesWithWolves said: Not if this turns out to be so toxic a tale when the article is released that the NFL removes Snyder and takes stewardship of the team and conducts their own auction/search for a new owner. There is precedence for this at least in the NBA with Sterling. I’m sure the league allows for something like this in extremus with a 2/3 ownership vote. Sterling was a racist, with a history of racism. Also, recorded making racist comments. Snyder has no actual dirt on him thus far, at least nothing found. He's also changing the name, regardless of the reason it came to this. I seriously doubt he has violated any terms of the NFL bylaws that could get him removed.

Maybe this is why the front office firings, maybe this is why minority owners want to sell, maybe even, this is why Larry Michael is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when they had to dress for winter in Korea, it was actually in the 90s or hotter. The writers wrote in it being winter every time the actors wanted to change their lines as punishment.

The team declined to comment about Michael’s retirement. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
