This x1000 our country is a shit show at least as far as goverment and politics go, and were using time and resources on this.

Washington alone is a multibillion dollar org covered under antitrust exemptions that uses a ton of public money. Daniel snyder has proven to a cartoonish extent that he is above the law and the nfl is complicit.

Just because we have a lot of irons in the fire doesn’t mean you can drop this. They were right to step in on steroids. They are right to step in when the nfl and goodell refuses to do their job. It’s not like he broke a few rules. It was epically bad, then they tried to cover it up, then they leaked emails out of revenge, all while continuing to commit fraud after they got caught. That’s not even getting into the worst of it including withholding millions in customer refunds, defrauding other teams of revenue sharing, on top of the worst of the sexual harassment allegations which includes pimping out his cheerleaders.

So what’s the solution, let him keep getting away with it because the economy is bad? I don’t trust congress with this so for that reason, I think it’s useless. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a priority.

This could all be true but CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS??? :rolleyes:

I'm not going with that one

Why didn’t Congress investigate Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks during their similar workplace culture/sexual harassment issues?

And just WTF do you think congress does ?
Pot calling the kettle black

Big business is not more immoral that politics. Outside of perhaps the weapons industry. That's about as black as it gets.

LMAO I was trying to remember where I knew the name from.

Isn't that what they are good at?

Washington was worse
If there’s any truth to the cheerleader scandal we are talking waaaaayyyyy worse
Cubans issue was way more to do with a lack of institutional control and nothing suggests he was part of it

Cuban didn’t then fraudulently scam ticketholders out of refunds
He didn’t try to weasel his way out of revenue sharing with other teams
He didn’t try to derail an entire investigation. Then used that privilege information to leak selective emails about his enemies

In other words… maybe some will say “oh that’s bad on the mavs.” That is not the same as Daniel snyder where people left and right can’t figure out how the **** he isn’t in jail, let alone basically keeping his job.

They are a billion dollar business with congressional antitrust exemptions and that consume a shitload of public money. From fans who unanimously want him gone.

Hes been pushing the envelope to see how much he can get away with. So far it is an obscene amount. If the nfl won’t hold him accountable, who will? Again, we aren’t talking about a normal business. We are talking about a very special arrangement protected by congress. Thinking about all the shitty owners in public sports and how much public money they use, it really should be more common practice to hold owners responsible for misconduct.

Pick your poison. Egregious workplace harassment including intimidating whistleblowers. Tampering with investigations. Blatant ftc violations with revenue sharing. Scamming taxpaying ticketholders. Potential sex trafficking. And now an incredibly justified Nevada lawsuit from Jon gruden.

Congress has a slush fund to pay off sexual harassment claims and feel like they can judge how an NFL team runs their organization.

You just can’t make this shit up.

Ummm… when they break a shitload of laws and then thumbs their nose because they can get away with it, you can absolutely judge how an nfl team runs an organization. As if this is just a few woman complaining about getting their ass slapped. It’s not like we’re investigating the golden state warriors here. They’re investigating the most dysfunctional org in all of sports.

Imagine an owner who on top of having sexual harassment suits bullied whistleblowers, tampered with investigations, blackmailed his employees, sabotaged enemies through privileged info, got caught with frauding other orgs and their customers, on top of being overwhelmingly unpopular…. Imagine that guy still being untouchable. THAT is the shit you can’t make up.

This is a political thread that should be in the shitty dc subforum.

Meh, if he broke the law indict him. If the women have a claim sue him. If the other owners have a problem then they have ability to remove him.

Not seeing how the government should to decide who is good enough or morally qualified to own a company nor be told how to run said company as long as following the law.
