How out of touch can he fucking be? He is disappointed that a woman would not come forward to him in a culture that was clearly supporting degrading harassment of women at every turn. If he was as hands off as he wants everyone to think he was ... cause yeah right, Snyder has been known for being hands off (we must draft ____ QB people) .... why would she come to him in that situation? He doesn't see the reality and thinks some sound bites will make it better - it don't. Either:
1) You set the tone at the top and the organization was a complete failure and you've had no idea for 21 years, but now that sponsors are boycotting and lawsuits are arming up you suddenly realize that action must be taken?
- Answer - complete fail, you should be fired, too little too late, and trust me most owners of a business as small yet lucrative as this one (small in people, large in $'s) absolutely have an idea of what is taking place - especially if they are in the building with any regularity
2) You knew about it and are contradicting yourself in the press to try and:
A) Appear to take responsibility - but then blame the press, your minority owners, and the accusers / victims
B) Keep your marriage by attempting to appear as outraged as anyone that this has happened - which just tells us you knew it was wrong and didn't care until you had to care
C) Keep the team by focusing on all you have done in the last 8 months to turn around the culture when you've known this was a dysfunctional shit show for a while - as evidenced by the press asking questions about culture a while ago with BA
saying "Its Damn Good"
- Answer - complete fail, you should be fired, you are complicit in what has occurred even if you have started to go towards a better path. Dan has had enough time and has failed at every point. This team must be taken from him so that it has a chance. What are we supporting if he isn't removed? I don't care if the hit job theory is correct. His actions and more importantly, 20 years of inaction until recent times, tells us that his behavior alone warrants his removal, regardless of how the information comes to light.
What he doesn't get is that even if half the stories are fabricated, he should still be dismissed on the other half. I don't believe for one instance that of the 25 women to come forward - they are all part of the hit job to make him look bad without any truth behind any of it.
