So this WFT "thing" is probably going to blow up, and that isn't going to make Goodell look good

Ex-Washington Football Team staffers say owner Dan Snyder used private investigators to try to stop them from cooperating with an NFL investigation into sexual misconduct claims

• Ex-Washington Football Team employees told the Washington Post that owner Dan Snyder tried to interfere with an NFL investigation into sexual misconduct claims.

• The staffers said investigators working for Snyder would show up at their houses and contact friends and family. 

• They say the moves were an intimidation tactic to keep the former employees from speaking.

Several former Washington Football Team employees say that investigators working for owner Dan Snyder tried to stop them from cooperating in an NFL investigation into sexual misconduct claims within the team's workplace, according to a report from The Washington Post. 

The employees reportedly told The Post that they believe Snyder employed intimidation tactics by having investigators show up at their homes, contact their friends and families, and reach out to their lawyers amid the NFL investigation. 

Snyder also filed petitions in court to identify former employees who had spoken to NFL investigators, according to The Post.

The NFL ultimately fined the Washington Football Team $10 million after its investigation, led by DC Attorney Beth Wilkinson, found that the workplace culture was improper.

Snyder himself was a subject in the investigation. He was directly accused in a sexual misconduct suit filed in 2009, and The Post previously reported that the team paid $1.6 million to settle the suit and keep it confidential.

Wilkinson and the woman who accused Snyder of misconduct told The Post in its recent report that Snyder offered the woman money to prevent her from being interviewed in the investigation. 

offered the woman money to prevent her from being interviewed in the investigation.

That is a rough one, dude obviously did wrong but I don't know if I trust the NFL people either.

[Barry McCockinner]

Hopefully Goodell has to resign.

[bla bla bla]

I would love nothing more than Goodell and Snyder getting dragged through the dirt and getting the boot!

[Spoot-Face]

Good good.

Burn this sham league down.

Damn right. If we can't have something nice, nor should anyone else.

How has Daniel Snyder not been forced to sell yet? I thought for sure he would have been Sterling'd by now.

What makes you think Goodell's replacement will be any better or different?

The replacement would likely be more of the same, I guess devil you know vs devil you don't but Goodell hasn't given me any reason to feel warm and fuzzy about him.

NFL owernship, with a few exceptions, are ethically challenged sociopath's.  How do you think they got to where they are?  Woody, who never needed to cheat, was involved in near criminal real estate deals and fraudulently tried to scam the IRS on cap gains he used to buy the Jets.  

How do you think Kraft got the tapes of him getting a tug job destroyed?   Goddell destroyed the tapes of the Pats cheating.  

This is SOP for the NFL owners and Goddell is a highly paid lackey of the owners.   Snyder is the worst of the worst but I wouldn't doubt for a moment that he wouldn't try and intimidate the league and other owners if his pale face and scalp was on the line.

1. Dan Snyder Removed as Owner

2. The take on a decent name/logo.

They do that, I become a two-team NFL Fan.

Gues I’m in the minority but I’m liking WFT, has an old time hockey feel to it

Exactly.  The commissioner is an employee of the owners.  He’s there to maximize their profits and look out for their interests.  He isn’t a steward of the game looking out for the best interests of everyone involved.   

[JustInFudge]

When you think about it, Roger Goodell = Ray Donovan.

Calling them “What The F***” has become second nature to me.

Gruden is probably happily helping blow this up

I loathe it, worst name in sports.  The NFL is not Euro-Soccer.  JMO, of course.

Washington Warthogs was my favorite, with a nasty Tusked Pig logo. 

Plays into the ol' Hogs (80's O-line), and football in general (Pigskin) and is appropriately animal based (no one to offend who matters) and "football mean".

Which is why it'll never happen.  I expect the worst outcome, I always do with this local Football team.

I know the feeling.

I lost all respect for Snyder when he folded and changed the name of his team.

[Paradis]

Nothing a good Brady/Bucs vs Bill/Pats superbowl won't put in the rearview mirror... better believe the refs are going to work it.

I’d say Farthogs, with a flatulence cloud propelling them forward on the logo,

The initials WFT by itself do nothing for me, but I dunno The Washington Football Team just sounds so stately to me 

[JTJet]

Dan Snyder and virtually everyone in the Redskins organization commits varying acts of chicanery and lewdness. 

Only Gruden of the Raiders pays the price. 

Seems legit.

[Hex]

Anything that makes Goodell look bad is good.

I find it's a love/hate with that name, even here locally where it does have some solid support as a permanent choice.

And it doesn't flow at all. 

Who do you root for, the "Wooft's"?  "The Team"?  Just leave it at "Washington"?  I mean really?

And don't get me started on WFT's similarity to WTF, lol.

Honestly, I just don't get it.  It's literally the football version of these:

 

What do YOU drink.....

"The Beer".
