Looks like a successful return on investment. And you can’t blame him for the name changes, he fought that like crazy, but the woke mob started boycotting him and hit him in the pocket book.
You aren’t piling on at all, the dude made almost 5 billion dollars, he’s probably very happy with those results.
I still think he should have gone with a redskin potato logo. That would have been hilarious.
I have no problem with him I only know what all the crap was for name change . I also wish he said screw you .
Now about the other problem if true thats on him not the team Its like if you work for or own a company an get in trouble thats on you not company.
Just have to learn no complements to the females . I agree with keep hands to yourself but saying to female you look great an your in trouble is little over doing the abuse idea. Again just my opinion.
The only difference between Snyder and the other owners is that he said the quiet parts loud
The issue arises in how a company handles allegations brought to their attention and how they deal with the improper conduct.
I think the Washington organization went well beyond “you look nice today”.
Did Snyder die last night and I wasn’t aware? Because he’s getting the “soft pedal the dead guy’s rough edges” treatment and I Dont Get It.
His team had an organized structure/process to hide revenue from his business partners, the other owners, because when you have revenue sharing, that’s the reality. You do that anywhere but football, that’s RICO.
He hired people to harass witnesses.
He originated the idea to charge admission to training camp. Is this terrible? No, but as with basketball, the TV and Merch revenues are so damn high, can we please get off the necks of the middle class family? I guess not, because 2 years later, the only way to buy season tickets with a credit card became with the Redskins branded Mastercard, ffs.
How about selling year old peanuts bought at an airline bankruptcy liquidation? Classy.
Annnnd we’ll just leave this here…
2008- While partially naked cheerleaders are being photographed and filmed for the yearly calendar and a “making of” featurette, Snyder allegedly tells the video department (through broadcaster Larry Michael) to create a video of all the lewd outtakes. A similar video was allegedly created in 2010 and burned to a DVD, with the words “For Executive Meeting” written on the disc. It will be 12 years before any of this comes to light.
And when you are a lying, cheating scumbag, you hire other liars and scumbags…like Bruce Allen (on thr other end of Grudens racist emails (( along with a NFL HQ lawyer that we continue to hear zippo about) and Mike Shanahan, who engineers lies to civer his ass for putting RG3 out there while he was basically the chained up goat left for the T-Rex in the first act of Jurassic Park…
RGIII’s outstanding rookie campaign comes to a scary but brief stop. Against the Ravens in Week 14, he injures his right knee. Visibly limping, he removes himself from the game for one play, then goes back out to hobble around for four more plays before finally leaving the game for good. Shanahan says afterward that renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews was on the sideline and approved RGIII to go back into the game after an examination. RGIII is diagnosed with a sprained LCL and misses one game, but returns in Week 16 wearing a knee brace.
USA Today publishes an article in which Dr. Andrews says he[ never approved RGIII to go back into the game after injuring his knee and says Griffin never allowed himself to be examined. This becomes incredibly relevant later in the day, when during the Commanders’ wild-card round loss to the Seahawks, RGIII tears the LCL and damages the ACL in his already injured right knee. He has surgery on Jan. 9 and never plays the same way again
HERES A PARTICULARLY DIRTBAG SITUATION. PASSPORT CONFISCATION and FORCED TOPLESS PHOTOSHOOTS.
Summer 2013
Washington’s cheerleaders are asked to go on an offseason trip to Costa Rica to shoot photos for a calendar. According to The New York Times, team officials took their passports upon arrival, then required them to be topless for the photo shoot even though the calendar wouldn’t feature any nudity. The topless photo shoot was reportedly attended by a group of all-male sponsors and suite holders. The Times also reported that several cheerleaders had been picked by male sponsors to be their escorts for the evening. While the dates didn’t involve sex, the cheerleaders reportedly had no choice but to attend.
Then, well, Money Talks when FedEx walks…
July 10, 2020
FedEx, the Commanders’ largest sponsor, reportedly writes a letter to Snyder warning him that unless he he changes the team name, it will remove its signage from the stadium and end its sponsorship agreement six years early.
July 13, 2020
Just three days after the report about the FedEx letter, Snyder reneges on his promise to never change the franchise name
annnnd thennnnn
Just a reminder it was one woman with one incident…it was FORTY. OVER DECADES.
July 16, 2020
The Washington Post publishes a blockbuster investigative report on toxic masculinity and widespread sexual harassment within the Commanders organization. In the report, 15 women come forward to accuse multiple current and former executives of sexual harassment and workplace discrimination. Several of Snyder’s top executives are implicated, but he is not.
Aug. 26, 2020
The Washington Post publishes another blockbuster investigative report about the Commanders. Twenty-five more women accuse Commanders employees of harassment and other workplace crimes, and the story about the 2008 cheerleaders calendar shoot (and the partially naked video Snyder allegedly ordered to be shot without the cheerleaders’ permission) is reported for the first time.
But wait, there’s more!
Just in time for Christmas, the WaPo publishes its third Snyder/Commanders investigative report of the year. This time, Snyder is directly implicated. According to court records obtained by the Post, the Commanders paid out a $1.6 million settlement to a former employee in 2009 after she accused him of sexual misconduct.
Dec. 29, 2020
Snyder, who had accused three limited partners of falsifying sexual harassment reports about him, gets sued by those three limited partners for corporate malfeasance (including harassment and intimidation) and various financial crimes.
Completely Skipping The Gruden Thing because this is already too long…
The WaPo is back with another bombshell. It reports that Snyder used multiple methods to interfere with the NFL’s investigation into the Commanders, including hiring detectives to investigate potential Post sources and suing ex-employees to gain access to their email communications. Congress demands that the NFL turn over all evidence from its Commanders probe, which the NFL declines to do. Commissioner Goodell says the next day that Snyder’s machinations did not disturb the investigation.
NOW, we finally get to the reveal on Snyder perving on the cheerleader…oh and also that the team also Defrauded Fans Out Of Their Ticket Deposits.
And this is only what we know about…
â– â– â– â– . That. Guy.
So you’re suggesting Snyder was undeservedly taken out by the “woke mob”?
That’s bold take when so much dirt on Snyder has come out. Sounds more like nfl owners should’ve got him out earlier.
Nope. Just the name change.
@Weaselpuppy and @Dan01
Thank you for doing your best to explain in a nice way
@coyote12 and @socko read those again and you’ll perhaps see why a defense of Snyder seems so shocking. Snyder won’t struggle, he’s set. But he was a terrible team owner and bad for the nfl brand and bad for the fans in Washington.
Roger Goodell makes over $60 million a year. They’re not paying him that for an honest days work. He’s basically the fixer man for the owners. Snyder, Gruden, and Deshaun Watson were all chosen to take the fall. Meanwhile, a scumbag like Sean Payton with a pay to injure program running on his team is still there. This is CTE stuff we’re talking about, the stuff that made Junior Seau shoot himself. I mean none of these are good people.
- some names and language becomes dated. I don’t see it as a woke mob issue when there’s many people across multiple “demographics” who didn’t like the name.
With Snyder’s funding and behavior, it’s a bit hard for me to fully believe any info he put out suggesting support for the name. I’d guess Snyder wasn’t above paying for that support.
I thought lions owners were terrible for going after Calvin’s money when he put in more effort and gave us fans more than the previous owners did and if the fords cashed out , they’d be walking with the $5billiion mad at Calvin for swindling then for $1.2million.
So I can see an argument where the nfl owners are a bit morally corrupt
But even then Snyder stood out above many others ( as far as info we know )
I dont think the CJ bonus was corrupt, just stupid, guided by their experience with Chucklehead Rogers.
And maybe a bit by Barry. I mean, your two GOAT level players in 100 years are 2 of 3 all time to Peace Out while still able to light up the League. More than a bit damning that WCF/Ford Management was just a complete buffoon situation.
Schwerpunkt. The End.
It really is amazing how far he was able to take a pretty meh business (by NFL owner standards) and a f$ck ton of leverage.
Sometimes luck and ego is enough I guess.
All of the professional owners who were “forced out” received a kings ransom in the sale of their franchises. It’s almost as if the leagues are buying their silence.
Donald Sterling: Buys the San Diego Clippers for $12.5 million and sells them for $2 billion
Jerry Richardson: Buys (founds) the Carolina Panthers for $206 million and sells them for $2.2 billion
Robert Sarver: Buys the Phoenix Suns for $401 million and sells them for $4 billion
Daniel Snyder: Buys the Washington Redskins for $800 million and sells them for $6.05 billion
Right. BC the “security” of the investment opportunity of franchise ownership is imperative to keeping the bubble that is sports franchise ownership from deflating.
From a cash flow generating standpoint the teams aren’t worth close to what they’re going for. They’re are just so many damn billionaires now and so few billionaire vanity projects.
