You hate everybody who's in favor of equal rights for men and women (= definition of feminism) ? ... Nope doesn't make any sense.

If you really think feminism is about equality then you are a class five moron.

The fact that charges have been dropped does not change the narrative of the poor handling of this situation by the FO.


1. They did not do due diligence and reach out to authorities find the extent of the charges.
2. Lied about the due diligence they performed on Fosters character and made for subsequent awkward denial by their own players of the interaction.
3. Referred to domestic abuse as "small potatoes" and then preceded to apologize to the women of the DMV for the signing.

To me it just shows they don't have their shit together and the fact they might have fallen ass backwards into what might be a good thing doesn't change that.

Yep, they definitely handled the PR side of it as poorly as they could.

And it wasn't that hard either: "We take the issue of domestic violence very seriously and if he's guilty he will never play for us. If we're 100% sure he's innocent then we'll give him a chance to play for us".

Isn’t that pretty much what they said?

It didn’t matter what they said it was going to look bad, the right thing to do was wait until this issue was cleared up and then sign him

This was their initial statement

Today we have claimed the rights to LB Reuben Foster. The Redskins fully understand the severity of the recent allegations made against Reuben. If true, you can be sure these allegations are nothing our organization would ever condone. Let me be clear, Reuben will have to go through numerous steps, including the full legal process, an investigation and potential discipline from the NFL, as well as meetings with counselors associated with the team before he will ever have the opportunity to wear the Burgundy and Gold as a player. That being said, we decided to investigate the situation with Reuben further by claiming his rights after candid conversations with a number of his ex-Alabama teammates and current Redskins players who were overwhelmingly supportive of us taking this chance. Nothing is promised to Reuben, but we are hopeful that being around so many of his former teammates and friends will eventually provide him with the best possible environment to succeed both personally and professionally.

Should've stick to that all the way then. With the level of dysfunction of this organisation, both real and perceived, they can't afford to be anything else than perfect PR wise.

I swear if someone from the FO starts bragging about what a steal we got...

It would just be another indictment of their complete lack of awareness.

Luckily nobody is talking or even tweeting right now due to the #FireBruceAllen thing lol

wonder if the Washington Post will even mention it since they spent a full week hating the Skins and then predictable politicizing it.

Don't guess and speculate about Foster's performance. Here's a very good fact and videotape-based analysis of him.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/new...-reuben-foster

He had a tremendous season last year, then this year before his problems in SF he was disappointing. But you do need to watch how well he can cover the intermediate part of the field when the secondary retreats into a Cover 3. That's something we do frequently to limit big plays but TEs like Ertz slaughter us because of it. Watch the clips of Foster covering Tavon Austin on the intermediate crossing patterns.

The speed is what separates him from Mason Foster, and the instincts in coverage are what separates him from Zach Brown. He didn't play well this year though, so it's fair to wonder what we're getting from a performance standpoint. At the same time, the tape don't lie it's clear to see why the Skins loved the idea of scooping him up.

[Chico23231]

R Foster and Z Brown would be one of the best LB combos in the NFC. Foster is extremely talented. If we would move to a 4-3 tampa 2 with him in the Middle...could be deadly.

I get a chubby thinking about Ryan Anderson - Ruben Foster - Zach Brown starting in a 4-3.
