Random Commanders Thoughts

[Burgundy Burner]

I'm going to put this in here and the owners can decide if it needs its own thread and how to word it. New posts go to social media, so it is their call.

This was posted a short time ago. I have no doubt that it is true. Think about the complaints of the Redskins cheerleaders recently. This sounds like the racism and sexism were extensive. Will it reach to the owner?

Wait, I thought the culture was "damn good" though...

 

[Burgundy Burner]

It not only sounds toxic, but it sounds like it is rabid. This is going to be so ugly.

If those types of complaints made it to Dan’s desk and he failed to act on them then he’s as guilty as the perpetrators imo

 

[Burgundy Burner]

True. Dan could be in serious trouble.

Remember the stories about the Redskins cheerleaders and how they were forced to be escorts for men in Costa Rica and "other duties"? I now believe it.

And the racism charge. I'm like everyone else - clueless. That is like a death sentence these days.

Maybe, just maybe - the straw and camel thing.

I wouldn't bring Antonio Brown here to DC unless we lost all 6 of our top receivers. He's a locker room cancer and someone you can't count on off the field, a suspension waiting to happen.

 

[Win4us]

The cheerleader news I remember. Not sure about any racism charge though. Unless it’s the ‘racist’ redskin name. If it’s the team name then I’d call bull on it instantly. Regardless it’s not a good look for Dan

Endemic racism but the players, who would know, did not attack Snyder when here or after having moved on? And it went on for years without a peep?

Geez.....this is getting to be like FL Covid stats (double counting) and NBC medical experts going live to report they have contracted COVID - only later revealing they faked it. Stuff, everything, is being fabricated now/for a while to destroy people.

Don't know if this will be true or not. I do know I will not, cannot, believe whatever spills out of this because no one except friends close to a problem can be trusted anymore. Makes it harder to get at ground truth - but it can be done.

If you can't trust the head coach, what difference does it make?

Well, as we see with the NBA executives and players, a little racism, violence or lack of civil rights can be tolerated if they are getting paid (see Hong Kong and other Chinese actions in their western provinces)......................

Paraphrasing Jordan ' they buy sneakers too...................'

It's also, from a certain angle, a risk free course-of-action.

 

[Bulldog]

Of course, the media in this country only covers violence, social unrest and racism here in the US as if human beings in other areas of the world don't suffer from the same diseases.....................

It's a joke and always has been.

And there are a lot of people out there only interested in their own progress.

A guy like Malcolm Jenkins brushes off DeSean Jackson's comments about Hitler and genocide because it takes attention away from the momentum of initiatives he is interested in seeing go forward with BLM.

So, I guess for him progress is indeed only skin deep.

Again...can't argue with your observations.

The unfortunate secondary effect from all of this is that real instances of racism, anti-semitism, etc., are not repudiated. The chance for real unity evaporates. One is stuck with propagandists like Brian Mitchell who warn there is a movement - get onboard or get rolled - while ignoring all the contradictions that undermine the possiblity for unity.

Having lots of money is not a bad thing - if one happens to be so blessed. But, I agree, it can be as corrupting as untethered power.

As in most things in life - don't listen to what they say.....watch what they do.

Question.... Don't 3/4 of the owners have to approve the new name ? Is Roger waiving that rule ? Asking for a friend.

Jerry Jones Changes Team’s Name To Redskins Now That It’s Available

ARLINGTON, TX—Jumping at an opportunity that he has reportedly been waiting on for years, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced Tuesday that he would change the team’s name to Redskins now that it is available. “Washington has been squatting on that moniker for so long, but I always...

I don't doubt something horrible and humiliating is impending, but we're not going to speculate or assume anything until we know what we're talking about it from official sources.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

I don't know. Wish I had your optimism.

 

[Boone]

There’s zero optimism in there BB.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Yeah, me too. I was being a bit facetious. I just have a really bad feeling about it. If the racism was extensive and the sexism was truly horrific, I could see losing a draft pick or two. Frankly, for such sins, I couldn't blame the league for doing so.

 

[Boone]

Well, we have no idea what 'racism' (in particular) and can only speculate about what 'sexism' refers to - so it's impossible to know what's going on or what the ramifications will be. I know this - I'm as fatigued with this sorry excuse of a franchise as I've ever been.
