Not to downplay anything--and what I've seen on Twitter are just rumors--but I have a vague memory of hearing these stories before and nothing happening as a result. Maybe there's another shoe that's going to drop.

Really? This is the first time I've heard any of this. I realize it's all Twitter rumor and speculation. I'm not saying any of it is true. I don't know yet. But it's the first I've heard of anything at all on this level -- outside of paying refs; that seems like common knowledge/speculation at this point.

I've seen things on Twitter today that recount this article from 2 years ago: https://www.thenation.com/article/archi ... treatment/

Oh yeah, definitely seeing that and worse. I had no idea there had been previous reports about it. That's crazy.

"Guys, what if we finally change the name and logo? That'd help, yeah?"

Is it, though?

compared to the rumors that were circulating, the actual WaPo article is really kind of disappointing.... obviously inappropriate behavior this day in age... but it's mostly sexist comments and a couple butt pinches

again i realize that's inappropriate behaviour

but it's not like someone alleged a rape or systemic racism or anything on the level that was being hyped up

Snyder could get a fine for this but I doubt it is enough for the NFL to force him to sell (which is what everyone actually wants) like with the Carolina owner

lame

i feel bad for those women obviously

but that WaPo article was soft... maybe their lawyers made them pull the juicier stuff out

yeah this did not live up to the hype

Aaron and Danica broke up

Man they are desperate for this Redskins metoo thing to take off but I don't know anyone that cares.

I'm more worried about Aaron. Coaches, women, his family. Guy can't get along with anyone.

It must be everyone else...

no one even got groped

in the story the chose to print at least

just words and a couple pinches

the lawyers must have watered this down massively

don't tell me 40 former employees at that dump were interviewed and this was the worst shit they could come up with

NFL has a brand to protect

Apparently NDA’s are keeping the juicy stuff out, but that’s probably why the recent departures happened.

I mean the cheerleader stuff with the phones and all has been out for a few years, I’d imagine this is a common theme among most pro sports franchises.

now that sports are nearly back, what are we going to do with the RMers like lenny and durden who support teams with racist mascots?

do we have the bandwidth to shame them all simultaneously, or should we focus on just one for starters?

I'm not sure how much you can shame me given that I'm totally in favor of a name change. But I'm sure that won't stop y'all trying.

Talk about offensive! Sheesh.
