Bad news supposedly coming out of Washington eventually

[TuscanyTile2]

It's amazing how often when you hear "bombshell news story coming soon", it's almost always overhyped.

Is this code for “spending some time“ with prostitutes? 

Nah, that’s when we went out “wheeling”

Look at Rapoport doing the clean up here. This is a nice bit of wagon-circling by the league. Also watch Rapoport’s face. Looks like he’s having a seizure while selling his soul

No one is gonna convince me the NFL didnt get a heads up on this story and go straight to damage control including payoffs.

It makes me wonder if some of it was leaked by the Skins themselves to soften the landing.

thought we were getting Snyders tax returns...or at least same scandalous Scream Machine stories.

[Greenbloodblitz]

 Nothing really surprises me...

But this does make me wonder about Chris and Woody Johnson. Why are they so soft-spoken?

Of course they have cocaine and helicopters, prostitutes and Yachts and whatnot.

Thinking about it now the Johnson Brothers are really creepy aren't they? Like do they run the meth lab equivalent of Area 51?

Are they wearing little kids Halloween costumes and gluing  hookers body parts together on different bodies and weird s***?

I'm skeeved..

 the Johnson Brothers look like Aliens.. I am freaking out now-

The thread when this story comes out could rival the one when all the woke little flowers here turned the Kraft rub and tug into him being involved in an international sex trafficking ring.

If you’ve never seen that thread, go find it. The posturing and over reactions were comedy gold. It was another of my finer moments though, because as usual, I was the one proven to be the voice of reason in that one.?

It is quite odd that partners with the NFL almost seem to trivialize these types of stories.

what a complete bust

[southtown24th]

every single workplace in america, unfortunately, has 15+ former "staffers" who would claim they were sexually harassed in one manner or another...including me by my female boss all the time.

that's life in the workplace.  nothing to see here.

Best part of this thread was talking about knishes and places to eat in Brooklyn.

No surprise Snyder and his organization are a huge pile of .... But the sports media right now has nothing to write about. They ran with the wildest unconfirmed stuff possible. An NFL team treats the cheerleaders badly may be a lawsuit worthy of coverage. But it's not end of the world stuff hinted at the last 2 days.

Also nothing seems to be directed towards Snyder himself. Just that this happened under his franchise. So it’ll just be fire the accused, and we’re good. 

Among his myriad failings, Dan Snyder does not possess a tremendous pimp hand.

[Jackie Treehorn]

14 long pages of speculation without even considering the victims. I did some research and this poor girl might be one of them.

Why the NFL still has cheerleaders in 2020 is beyond me.

Yeah, reacting negatively to workplace sexism, discrimination and intimidation is just so passe'.

I already considered her twice. I'm going to grab a sandwich quick and then I'll consider her again.

THinking the same thing.  Manny Skins fans thinking the same thing on message boards.

We've either all been duped to think it was going to be much worse, thereby softening the blow of the actual story OR Snyder's lawyers intervened and put a halt to whatever could not be substantiated OR the NFL itself intervened to save itself.

I suspect @T0mShane, had it correct, that the Post legal Department got a hold of the story, and sliced and diced it based upon liability concerns, and maybe even because of subtle pressures inside and outside the organization. For the story to take so long to publish (not a newspaper world type of thing) meant that it was being filtered through many different lenses. 

The story is horrible, and to downplay it based on "not sensational enough" is a travesty. If this were the Jets, we would be tearing them apart, and rightly so.

Also, if there is suspected criminal activity, the FBI might be saying to keep it out of the press until they are done with their own investigation.  There are many, many reasons (including that the whole bribing thing was fabricated) why the published article is different from what was leaked.

There's a term in the business world called a "risk benefit anaylsis".  It's basically when you're making a decision and you weigh the positives vs negatives.  What's the best thing that can happen in a situation versus the worst thing.  

With cheerleaders, I imagine it would look something like this:

Benefit:

Enticing to teenagers and viagra-popping creeps who are unhappy with their home lives.  Nobody has ever purchased season tickets to look at a cheerleader from 50-500 feet away.

Risk:

See Washington Redskins

Hope this helps you get the point as you clearly missed it the first time since nobody said a word about who was at fault for what  happened.

Or, maybe we should examine the culture that a leader creates in how they manage their employees and the examples they set. Employees will follow the lead and ethical approach to the workplace that the person in charge exhibits (at whatever level that "leader" is). Whether that is Daniel Snyder, I am not sure, but there certainly seems to be smoke there. 

Something is wrong inside the Washington Redskin organization that allows this type of behavior to be allowed, and apparently prevalent. If you set the tone of your organization correctly, these things do not manifest, and the miscreant that falls outside the line is dealt with swiftly and in a demonstrative way.

The problem was not the existence of cheerleaders. The problem was the culture. I can't believe I am having this discussion in 2020. Or, maybe I can.
