brkmsn Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Quote when she recalled him calling her "f-----g stupid” Not a day goes by at work where this doesn't happen to someone at work at some point in the day. Quote But most of all, Applegate said, they cried about the realization their dream job of working in the NFL came with what they characterized as relentless sexual harassment and verbal abuse that was ignored — and in some cases, condoned — by top team executives. This is your dream job, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paco Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 You know how with South Park, they have an episode that no other show could get away with and people just shrug it off and say "That's just South Park". That's the R-words. It's just expected from this rotten organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, when I heard he resigned, I didn't give it much thought. I guess that's because that football team has been so damn irrelevant for so long that whenever something happens with them, it barely registers with me.

Honestly, their fans are mostly butt-hurt about changing the name. This is just insult to injury. 20 minutes ago, vsptroops said: To be honest, I never heard any of the things he is accused of and I live up here.

paco Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 See, it has nothing to do with his "leadership" Quote Daniel Snyder says alleged Redskins behavior ‘has no place’ in franchise; NFL to consider discipline Daniel Snyder, the owner of Washington’s NFL franchise, said Friday that alleged sexual harassment and verbal abuse of female employees by former team officials "has no place in our franchise or society." That came after the NFL said earlier Friday that the allegations made by the women in a report by The Washington Post are "serious, disturbing and contrary to the NFL’s values.” The league indicated that it will consider potential disciplinary action after reviewing the findings of the outside investigation that was initiated Thursday by the team. Snyder issued a written statement through the team in which he said: "The behavior described in yesterday’s Washington Post article has no place in our franchise or society. "This story has strengthened my commitment to setting a new culture and standard for our team, a process that began with the hiring of Coach [Ron] Rivera earlier this year.” The NFL’s response came in a written statement issued Friday morning after 15 former Redskins employees told The Post in a report Thursday that they were sexually harassed during their time with the team. "These matters as reported are serious, disturbing and contrary to the NFL’s values,” the league’s statement said. "Everyone in the NFL has the right to work in an environment free from any and all forms of harassment. Washington has engaged outside counsel to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations. The club has pledged that it will give its full cooperation to the investigator and we expect the club and all employees to do so. We will meet with the attorneys upon the conclusion of their investigation and take any action based on the findings.” The team said Thursday that it had hired D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson and her firm, Wilkinson Walsh, "to conduct a thorough independent review of this entire matter and help the team set new employee standards for the future.” Snyder said Friday that Wilkinson’s review will be independent. "Beth Wilkinson and her firm are empowered to do a full, unbiased investigation and make any and all requisite recommendations. Upon completion of her work, we will institute new policies and procedures and strengthen our human resources infrastructure to not only avoid these issues in the future but most importantly create a team culture that is respectful and inclusive of all.” Ralph Northam, Virginia’s Democratic governor, called on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to take action. Redskins Park, the team’s headquarters, is located in Ashburn, Va., and the team has held previous training camps in Richmond. "The allegations against the Washington football team’s management are serious and disturbing,” Northam said in a written statement provided to The Post. "I’m especially concerned that so much of this behavior is detailed to have occurred across Virginia, where the team has offices and practice facilities. Commissioner Goodell needs to step in and get to the bottom of this, and quickly.” The women’s allegations spanned from 2006 to 2019 and were made against Larry Michael, the team’s former senior vice president of content and its play-by-play announcer on its radio broadcasts; Alex Santos, the team’s former director of pro personnel; Richard Mann II, the team’s former assistant director of pro personnel; Dennis Greene, former president of business operations; and Mitch Gershman, former chief operating officer. No women accused Snyder or former team president Bruce Allen of inappropriate behavior. But some expressed skepticism that Snyder and Allen were unaware of the behavior. The women blamed the team for having an understaffed human resources department and said they viewed an environment of verbal abuse by top executives as contributing to the team’s inappropriate treatment of employees. Santos and Mann were fired by the Redskins last weekend. Michael announced his retirement this week. The individuals accused of misconduct also could be subject to potential discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The NFL fined former Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson $2.75 million in 2018 after investigating claims of workplace misconduct against him. Richardson sold his team to David Tepper. In the Panthers case, the NFL took over the investigation from the team after Sports Illustrated reported that four former team employees received significant financial settlements, accompanied by nondisclosure agreements, following accusations of inappropriate behavior and workplace comments by Richardson, including sexually suggestive remarks and acts. There also was a reported incident in which Richardson used a racial slur at an African-American team employee. The NFL’s investigation, conducted by former U.S. attorney and SEC chairwoman Mary Jo White, concluded there was no information to discredit the claims made against Richardson. The Washington team has announced plans to change its controversial name, long considered by some observers to be offensive to Native Americans. The allegations also come with Snyder’s minority ownership partners — Fred Smith, Dwight Schar and Robert Rothman — having hired an investment banking firm to attempt to sell their ownership shares. They own an estimated 40 percent of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much his only defense. He's a grade A loser, a guy that only cares about money and nothing else. I absolutely think he lets people do whatever they want as long as the money keeps coming in. It's a toxic culture. If the NFL opens an investigation I think this will all come to light. The unfortunate part of that is that it probably will mean that Snyder has to sell the team, and that will end this era of ineptness for the Washington Football Club.

vsptroops Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 First, Ralph Northam needs to shut his pie hole, considering what was found in his past as well as being one of the worst Governors in VA history. Second, I still dont understand why a good man like Ron Rivera would want to coach one of, if not the most toxic franchises in the NFL. Worst comes to worst, he could have sat out this year and had his pick of probably 5 or 6 better franchises next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
