CommanderInTheRye Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Whew that was close but Dan can finally breathe again. It was touch and go there for the last 3 or 4 days, as Irsay briefly assumed the role of the league's red headed step child, but after today's events the disheveled one can take pride in regaining his title as the undisputed most despicable owner in the NFL. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May seem like a meh statement to everyday Joes, but this only cements the NFL and Goodell's desire to oust Snyder. You think for one second they are anything but embarrassed and fuming at this news? Nope. Big NEGATIVE news for all involved. That's my gut, that it only makes the NFL more interested in removing Dan. Sheehan seems to think you keep poking the bear and Dan changes his mind and doesn't sell. For me my gut isn't Dan is selling this purely because he had enough -- I buy the reports that the owners told him-Tanya to sell now before they lose their diginity any more Edited November 10, 2022 by Skinsinparadise 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSkinz83 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm not totally sure what I just listened to. Was he saying that the charge is that Dan and the NFL said the investigation was independent, but it really wasn't? Regardless, I doubt there's going to be any deposition. They will settle the case. All that matters at this point is that Dan is selling, but I kinda agree with Sheehan that if you over reach, he might do a Wolf Of Wall Street, "I'm not leaving".

I'd be pretty shocked if they didn't have enough votes to force the sale now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Dan probably has until the December league meeting to get a buyer. Otherwise the owners will be voting him out. Maybe even sooner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 It's an ambitious lawsuit, but IMO Goodell and the owners will just pressure Snyder to sell sooner in order to make this go away because the shield doesn't want this kind of press 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 As Racine said regarding Wednesday’s shameful statement in which the team hid behind the shooting of Commanders running back Brian Robinson in an effort to deflect scrutiny for its own behavior, “It’s customary for bullies to try to bully victims.” Link He called dany boy a LIAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 All Snyder had to do is have some self awareness and leave before it got to this point. If he sells the team 5 years ago, he'd have had a few more billion in his pocket and no legal trouble. I highly doubt Racine is chasing him down if he's long gone as owner.

Spaceman Spiff Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm hoping this doesn't delay the sale of the team. Like the AG said, this suit is for Snyder, Goodell, the NFL and the Commanders. My gut tells me that people/groups are going to be hesitant to purchase the team with this hanging over the Commanders head. Right? Or are buyers not gonna give a ****? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnySideUp Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well, there's long been speculation about why Goodell never took stronger action against Dan. Now it looks as if it's coming back to bite him. I wonder what Jon Gruden's reaction to all of this is. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/d-c-attorney-general-files-lawsuit-vs-dan-snyder-commanders-nfl-and-commissioner-roger-goodell/ >>D.C. attorney general files lawsuit vs. Dan Snyder, Commanders, NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell The lawsuit alleges the Commanders and the NFL colluded to deceive and mislead consumers D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced Thursday that his office is filing a consumer protection lawsuit against the Commanders, team owner Daniel Snyder, the NFL and league commissioner Roger Goodell. The lawsuit accuses them of colluding to deceive and mislead customers about the investigation into the team's workplace misconduct in order to avoid losing revenue from the fan base. "Faced with public outrage over detailed and widespread allegations of sexual misconduct and a persistently hostile work environment at the Team, Defendants made a series of public statements to convince District consumers that this dysfunctional and misogynistic conduct was limited and that they were fully cooperating with an independent investigation," the lawsuit says, via The Washington Post. "These statements were false and calculated to mislead consumers so they would continue to support the Team financially without thinking that they were supporting such misconduct." The lawsuit, which is being filed in the civil division of the D.C. Superior Court, alleges that the Commanders and the NFL violated the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act with "public misrepresentations, omissions, and ambiguities of material fact." Racine's office is seeking "financial penalties under the CPPA for every incident in which the Commanders, Mr. Snyder, the NFL, and Commissioner Goodell lied to District residents dating back to July 2020," adding that the defendants "could face millions of dollars in penalties." The NFL fined Snyder's franchise $10 million at the conclusion of their workplace misconduct investigation. The investigation was launched after The Washington Post report that included 15 former employees claiming that they were sexually harassed during their time with the franchise. A second report published in The Post cited interviews with over 100 employees who claimed Snyder "has presided over an organization in which women say they have been marginalized, discriminated against and exploited." Snyder was also accused of attempting to use cheerleaders in inappropriate ways, including having inappropriate videos of cheerleader photoshoots created for him. In February, six former employees of the franchise joined leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee for a roundtable discussion about workplace misconduct within the organization. The roundtable led to more accusations that included claims of inappropriate behavior by Snyder. The Oversight Committee's chairman and chairwoman believe the NFL "covered up" alleged misconducted from the six former employees prior to the league's investigation. No matter what happens on the football field, the focus surrounding the Commanders is seemingly always on the turmoil surrounding Snyder and the overall running of the franchise. Along with the lawsuit, the Commanders were at the center of controversy this week after the team invoked running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s recent shooting in their response to the lawsuit announcement. While the Commanders' players have largely avoided publicly discussing the state of the franchise, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste recently said that a change within the organization would be beneficial. "Since I arrived here, it's been a dark cloud over our organization," St-Jusge told French-language paper Le Journal de Quebec last week (translation via 106.7 The Fan). "Every time there is something good happening on the pitch, something bad is happening off it. It would give us great energy to have a fresh start and regain the confidence of the fans." Amid this controversy, St-Juste may get his wish, as Snyder has hired representation to possibly consider selling the team. This comes after Colts owner Jim Irsay recently said that there would "potentially" be enough votes from NFL ownership to remove Snyder as owner. Twenty-four votes would be needed in order to remove any owner. "Some of the things I've heard doesn't represent us at all," Irsay said. "I want the American public to know what we're about as owners. ... You can't shy away from the fact that, I believe it's in the best interest of the National Football League that we look at this squarely in the eyes and deal with it." Meanwhile, coach Ron Rivera and his team continue to try to keep the focus on the field. After a slow start, Rivera's team is 4-5 entering Monday night's road game against the undefeated Eagles. << 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Dan had him fooled and hook line and sinker in those long conversations they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
