The Bombshell

I didn't say it was true. I even made sure to underline and bold RUMOR.

I agree that nothing would surprise me about anything any longer with this team. I am seriously numb to it now.
 
maybe the refs figured out he was bribing some and were pissed they didnt get paid, too?
 
At least you have us laughing right now. The internet never disappoints.

No one thinks you did - commenting on the Twitter rumors.
 
drugs - maybe
paying off refs - doubtful
cheerleaders pimped - true
topless shoots - true
Bibbs and Gruden - there is a lot of talk on that being true
Sex parties - doubtful
 
Well, we remember the Gruden video at the party where he was with what looked like a 20 year old girl. And how later he was sitting up against a wall outside while she kneeled over him I guess to see if he was OK after things broke up.

I had heard a rumor that Allen and Gruden allegedly were heavy drinkers and that cast a shadow over Ashburn.
 
I had forgotten about that video. He was hammered!

Remember how pissed they were at Scot for all of his problems with booze? Seems like it might have been pretty hypocritical of them.
 
Story is up. I can't read it and refuse to subscribe to the Post, but it's up.

The Story
 
The key is proving that Snyder knew these things were going on. If he was, he's going to feel insane pressure to sell the team.

Anything racist, or pimping out women would be incredible.
 
Exclusive: Fifteen women who worked for Redskins allege sexual harassment by former scouts and members of owner Daniel Snyder’s inner circle https://wapo.st/30fu008

Here's the first headline.
 
More than a dozen women allege sexual harassment and verbal abuse by former team employees at Redskins Park
WILL HOBSON JULY 16, 2020

A few months after Emily Applegate started working for the Washington Redskins in 2014, she settled into a daily routine: She would meet a female co-worker in the bathroom during their lunch breaks, she said, to commiserate and cry about the frequent sexual harassment and verbal abuse they endured.
They cried about the former chief operating officer’s expletive-laced tirades, Applegate said, when she recalled him calling her “f-----g stupid” and then requesting she wear a tight dress for a meeting with clients, “so the men in the room have something to look at.” They cried about a wealthy suiteholder who grabbed her friend’s backside during a game, Applegate said, and the indifference the team’s top sales executive displayed when she complained.
But most of all, Applegate said, they cried about the realization their dream job of working in the NFL came with what they characterized as relentless sexual harassment and verbal abuse that was ignored — and in some cases, condoned — by top team executives.
Applegate is one of 15 former female Redskins employees who told The Washington Post they were sexually harassed during their time at the club. The other 14 women spoke on the condition of anonymity citing a fear of litigation, as some signed nondisclosure agreements with the team that threaten legal retribution if they speak negatively about the club. The team declined a request from The Post to release former female employees from these agreements so they could speak on the record without fear of legal reprisal. This story involved interviews with more than 40 current and former employees and a review of text messages and internal company documents.
Team owner Daniel Snyder declined several requests for an interview. Over the past week, as The Post presented detailed allegations and findings to the club, three team employees accused of improper behavior abruptly departed, including Larry Michael, the club’s longtime radio voice, and Alex Santos, the team’s director of pro personnel...

I'll leave it up for a few, but then you guys need to delete the word for word transcript - not fair to the Washington Post to copy it and share (as much as it pains me to say that)

I’ll trust your discretion on how long to leave it.
 
I hope every one of you guys, if you're on social media, messages Roger Goodell and lets him know that the environment Snyder has created and supported is unacceptable and he needs to be removed as owner.
