Dissident2 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 7 hours ago, CommanderInTheRye said: An unambiguous report on Fox-5 today makes it as clear as it can get (absent an official statement from Anheuser Busch) that the termination of their partnership with the Commanders was due to Snyder's reported sexual harassment of employees. They also mention the effect of "Boycott Dan" and other fan protest movements, like ours, in driving home the message to all corporate sponsors to bring an end to Snyder's reign of error. The ball is rolling down hill faster and faster... "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Ultimately there is no cause more worthy of fighting and, if neccesary, dying for than a virtuous lost cause. I salute you sir!

MrJL Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 so the Washington Times is saying that Snyder is running the day to day operations while Goodell says he's not supposed to be. That seems like a decent way to get the NFL to ban him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The team's under Congressional investigation again. From the article. Even more trouble could be on the way for the Washington Commanders. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which has been investigating the allegedly widespread sexual harassment that pervaded Washington under team owner Dan Snyder, is now looking into alleged financial impropriety by the team, according to The Washington Post. The allegations reportedly came to light in recent weeks while the House Oversight Committee reviewed more than 80,000 pages of documents and interviewed witnesses. In a subsequent story, Front Office Sports reported committee investigators were exploring whether Snyder's Commanders had been using "two books" of financial information to create a different picture of the team's finances. Specifically, the investigators are reportedly looking into the debt load Snyder undertook when he bought out the rest of the Commanders, deceptive accounting practices and allegations of a gender pay disparity. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/congress-investigating-commanders-dan-snyder-financial-impropiety-210527929.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the eyes of the other owners this is more egregious the the sexual assault, wrongfully. I do not care what gets him out as owner, just that he is out as owner. I just sent emails with all the attachments I could find on these new allegations vs Mr. Snyder. If they still want to sponsor this team with Snyder at the helms, well, money is everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Stealing from the other owners is definitely going to be viewed much harsher than anything relating to women or PoC. Can't hurt the owners wallets. They won't stand for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirtyfive2seven Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 How do we know that this story is accurate? It only says that someone claimed this happened and there are claims of evidence… which the redskins deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Was talking to my dad about this today, one of my concerns is no matter how much Snyder limits what the other owners can make, it's nearly impossible for him to be a net negative for them. We're talking potential revenue lost, not actually costing them money. So until that happens, I'm not buying any of this supercedes their contentment with not having us as a team that will get in their way for getting a super bowl. He makes them look bad, but isn't really hurting their wallets or getting in the way of their own team's success. I'm not sure what it will take, but we should keep at it anyway. I'm also not convinced the other owners really want the risk of Bezos as an owner, let alone the owner of the DC franchise. That's too much weight to throw around and risk of another Robert Kraft type success story. Edited April 6, 2022 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
