Oso planning to go pro
Sounds like a bombshell article coming by the end of the week about Washington. Rumors on Twitter of sexual harassment involving Snyder and others. Someone even threw out Epstein’s name.
I have a feeling that the Washington franchise won't be Snyder's by the end of the year. Which is fine because someone needs to bring that franchise back.

So the rumors of something big dropping on Friday are probably true.

They’ve been claiming “big news about to drop” since Sunday night. The day it was happening keeps getting pushed back. I’m not doubt there is some serious stuff, but it’s annoying how many vaguely phrased promises are being splashed about with nothing actually coming out as they kick the can down the line
....aaaaand that’s why. This is not good, certainly wrong and inappropriate behavior, but very little will come of it and this is far a bombshell from making Snyder give up the team unless there is more coming
He's being accused of overlooking more than a decade of sexual harassment and verbal abuse of 15 women within his company, including by members of his inner circle.If you don't think that puts him in jeopardy in today's environment, you're not reading the room.
So was Cuban with the Mavs. Bob Kraft was in a criminal sex scandal. The Bengals has cheerleaders speaking out on rampant sexual harassment in the organization being normal. The Redskins already got under fire for inappropriate conduct involving cheerleaders. That vanished People will get fired. Concessions will he made, and Snyder will skate. Maybe you’re right, but outside of an old and decrepit Jerry Richardson, there’s no precedent for Snyder to be toast. Especially when you’re as stubborn, ornery, and combative as him
But let’s see, if we get Fred Smith getting vocal and arming for battle, then maybe something happens. I hope I’m wrong. I just think the NFL is the worst about follow through in these sort of matters
I guess that's the sad thing about this world. Sexual harassment for over a decade and it's considered obviously a bad situation for these women but isn't considered a bombshell or shocking.
Was enough for Jerry Richardson though. He had racist baggage too, though.
But Fred Smith announced he is selling on July 5th. If I were betting that's how he is flushing Snyder. Forcing the name change and then forcing him to 1. take on a new minority investor (which will have to reconcile this issue) or 2. Sell to a new group.Both of those can be an outcome. But one of them would take attracting money that is OK with Snyder continuing as the lead.
Discussions of minority investors selling have been ongoing for over a year. Fred Smith is a bit busy today explaining why he donated to anti-Black Lives Matter Senator Kelly Loeffler. (Including a donation on Juneteenth)
