I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
If he was hiding revenue wouldent that open the league to a lawsuit by the players since it suppressed the cap?

Yeah which is likely why the owners are ready to kick Snyder out. If he had to open his books it's possible the NFLPA can request the books of all the other owners to check variances… and they don't want that to happen.

THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON

drunk leprechaun posted:

He covered up/participated in a workplace culture that was incredibly sexist and has some harassment accusations against him personally. He doubled down on a racist team name and logo for a decade plus and only changed it when basically forced to. He is openly hostile to his own fans, and continues to play the three jurisdictions in the team's fan area against each other.

Plus he's supposed to be a dick and just generally unpleasant to be around. Which is the bigger issue for the other owners really. He's not a good hang and they want him out of their club.

there is so, so, SO much more.

For example, this little rear end in a top hat bribed some high up park service officials in the Bush Administration to let him cut down a couple hundred trees on national parkland so he would have a better view of the Potomac River. And when a park ranger objected, he hosed with the guy's career. And when the ranger filed a whistleblower complaint, he was framed for grand theft (and acquitted at trial).

The Washington D.C. Attorneys General


WASHINGTON (AP) — The attorney general for the District of Columbia said he is holding a news conference about the Washington Commanders on Thursday, the latest off-field development for the NFL franchise that is the subject of multiple ongoing investigations.

The office of D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine announced Wednesday he will make a major announcement related to the team. No details were provided.

Racine's office launched an investigation into the team around the time the U.S. House Committee for Oversight and Reform referred its case, which began with workplace culture issues, to the Federal Trade Commission for potential financial improprieties.

The team is being investigated on several fronts, including by the attorneys general of D.C. and Virginia, Congress and the league. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy last week said former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White's review on behalf of the league is ongoing and there is no timetable for when it will be completed.

The Washington No, Dig UPs

quote:

ASHBURN, Va. -- The agent for Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson took issue with the team invoking his client's shooting in their preemptive response to the District of Columbia Attorney General's upcoming announcement regarding the organization.

...

A Commanders spokesperson, in a statement Wednesday night, pushed back on the attorney general's possible announcement and in doing so made reference to Robinson, who in August was shot twice in the right leg during a robbery attempt while going to a restaurant in D.C.

"Less than three months ago, a 23-year-old player on our team was shot multiple times, in broad daylight," the statement began. "Despite the out -of-control violent crime in DC, today the Washington Commanders learned for the first time on Twitter that the D.C. Attorney General will be holding a press conference to "make a major announcement" related to the organization tomorrow."

I don’t see any reason for a second take at it unless they go back to WFT, or the name before that.

Commanders is lame and generic, but not moreso than “Panthers” or “Texans”.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders disciplined a handful of players for violating a league rule about drinking on a team plane, but the league will take no further action, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

The NFL sent a memo to every team Friday afternoon from commissioner Roger Goodell, reminding them of the rule and that any violations would result in "significant discipline." After the Tennessee Titans' win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night, Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing was arrested for DUI early Friday.
