Yeah, 15 women claiming sexual harassment is light. :dwillhuh:

You brehs are fukked in the head.:scust:


I think you're misreading some of us. It's not that it's light, but the buildup to this story and the rumors had a lot of us expecting murder and mayhem. Obviously murder and mayhem is hyperbole. The Locker Room thread on this, the tweets, the reporters saying they know a major story is coming, etc.. Then come to find out it's 15 women saying three men or more were making lewd comments to them. That's not right, and folks should have been fired years ago, but this was not the major story I expected. Funny thing is the only thing they got Snyder on is telling an employee who used to be a male cheerleader to do a cartwheel for him :pachaha: Other than that obviously the buck stops with him as the owner.

Tell you something else too, this story dropped on a Thursday night which is basically a Friday. Not sure if you're familiar with the term, Friday News Dump, but that's what this was. This story won't even be a story by next Friday. We're in the middle of a pandemic, probably the most important presidential election in decades, etc.. Sexism in football while wrong and needs to change, but compared to other issues right now.....there's more newsworthy matters.

Im not disagreeing about the hype boosting by a lot of fraud journalists who did not read the story and were just saying shyt. But we cannot deny 15 women said they were sexually harassed by senior leadership and executive leadership at the team. That is terrible and this is a culture of things from the past regarding how the corporate wing of the franchise treats women. One person doing HR for 220 full-time staff members is shocking, along with the Larry Michael tape being deleted.

Lastly, the Friday news dump is for stories released Friday afternoon. This dropped Thursday afternoon.

Yeah, one HR staffer had me laughing when I read the story, like WTF?!?!?! And yes, the culture within these organizations needs to change. It's appalling. I don't have a feminist bone in my body, but wrong is wrong. It's not just football, but society in general. Women have been putting up with some bullsh!t all these years.

Regarding the release, I was watching for that story all day yesterday, and it didn't become available to me until the evening. Maybe my timing was flawed? Plus it's behind a fukkin paywall. I could be overthinking this, but Í'm pretty damn convinced there was a LOT more to this story, but it got nerfed.

Whatever you feel about the allegations isn't the point. They're going to use this story against Snyder in the same way the NBA did with Sterling. They can't have an owner that's hated as much as Snyder in one of the biggest markets in the country.

I've never thought they got rid of Sterling because he was racist. He's been racist forever and they were cool with it until they realized how much his shytty ownership was costing all of them. They "punished" him by allowing him to sell for billions and allowing his family to have luxury suites forever going forward.

Its not what I feel, its a factual statement. If Snyder was implicated for racist statements or sexual harrasment than it would be the same as Richardson but he wasnt at least not yet. Nothing in that story will force Dan Snyder to sell the team

It is. They broke federal law. It's clear there's a basis for employer liability here.

Skins are going to get dinged BIG.

Nothing in that story is forcing Dan Snyder to sell the team. Richardson was making racist statements and sexually harassing women if Snyder did that or hell if they can prove he knew and covered it up than sure its possible but outside Dan clowning old boy for being a male cheerleader nothing is directly attributed to him

:mjlol:
This is a big story you wylin


Its not remotely close to being as big as they teased it being. If some of the rumors about what the story would be came to be the case than sure. Im not saying its nothing nor am I brushing off what happened but I listen to 980 and before the story came out the rumors and callers where so sure this would be big enough to get Snyder to sell the team....its not close. If Snyder had been pimping cheerleaders out or partying on Epstein Island like the rumor mill was saying the story would be than that would be MASSIVE and the NFL would get his ass outta there. If this is the story in its totality than I give it a week before it basically blows over
