I guess that being more active on youtube, twitter and facebook means I was exposed to more of the craziness than most.
For 3 days the buildup was .....
" MASSIVE BREAKING NEWS ABOUT THE REDSKINS, LEAGUE CHANGING ACCUSATIONS"
"BIGGEST SEX SCANDAL IN NFL HISTORY,SNYDER WILL BE FORCED OUT"
"LEAKED INFORMATION, DRUG AND ALCHOHOL FUELED SEX ORGIES, "
"THE END OF THE REDSKINS,ACCUSATIONS WILL DESTROY THE FRANCHISE"
"IS THIS THE MOST TOXIC TEAM IN HISTORY?"
"AT LEAST THE 90'S COWBOYS WERE GOOD ON THE FIELD"
"WILL THE LATEST REDSKINS SCANDAL END THE TEAM?"
then we were told that these were the "details"
" my boss called me fucking stupid"
" I was told to wear high heels and a form fitting dress"
"a man at the office asked women if they were romantically interested in him"
not teamates slashing another teammates throat, no hiring prostitutes to be cheerleaders, no forcing cheerleaders to sleep with management and friends, no drug and booze filled sex parties on yachts, no ground shattering accusations, and aside from mentioning 15 complaints, not really anything nearly as outrageous as the rumours.
so yeah I feel like this was way overblown do anyone of you honestly believe the hype was warranted here? really? this was text book manufactured outrage, release some rumours, create a shitstorm, then rely on people maintaining that level of outrage despite the details.
honestly the most significant thing to me were not the cheerleading stories, although those are pretty gross, but that 15 women complained about sexual harassment, but since there were no details of those accusations, only "complaints" I kind of want to know if they were " my boss was mean to me" or " someone at the office asked me out" or if they were " my job was openly threatened if I didnt have sex with someone" or unwanted touching etc. either way its inappropriate behaviour, but one is far worse than the other. either one will get someone fired though.
Snyder will have to sell the team, and I am ok with that, hopefully whoever buys it is less of an asshat.
