Snyder (the absolute worst owner in all of sports) to stay on a owner

[EdmundDorf]

It is some sort of support, but what I was saying was that it may just be to make the problem go away as much as support for DS personally. The owners have no fixed financial rules despite what they would like the world to believe, they let owners break the "debt" rules all the time when it comes to building a new stadium or moving a franchise as it sets a precedent that allows all of them to do it in the future. Extrapolating the franchise value from the sale of a minority stake with no voting power is misguided, I don't think it is a linear extrapolation.

I'm aware voting power changes the value of the shares, that's why minority owners wanted Dan to be forced to sell, so their shares would be sold at a higher price. But 40% of a 5 billions worth franchise at 800M is still a bargain.

Anyway, that's not the point, the NFL didn't set this price, the point is I do think it's quite the endorsement, and they'd look like morons if they were to force him to sell in a couple of months/year. He's not going anywhere.

I also think it's a reminder that it's an owners' league, and unless something obviously outrageous and blatant comes out, and I mean "we don't have a choice" outrageous and blatant, they'll always lean towards protecting owners' power.

The NFL Report on Snyder’s alleged crimes against his employees will NEVER be released. They will say, “ in order to save embarrassment to the employees of the WFT, this report will remain secret.”
However, Snyder will have to settle out of court with all that sued him. Snyder will be happy to buy his way out of this problem he created. The NFL will be happy to sweep this problem under the rug and Snyder’s transgressions never come to light.

The other owners in the NFC East are delighted to keep Snyder around because they know he will eventually worm his way back into micro-managing this team and messing it up. Also, until the WFT fan base returns, FedEx will be filled with tens of thousands of fans from Philly, NY or Dallas for our “home games”!!

I guess we can drop the conspiracy theory that the league is behind every call that doesn’t go our way, every loss, every dropped ball now? I always hated that theory.

Haha. True dat.

The only exception is he left Gibbs alone, so if he sees Rivera in the same light as Gibbs we just might have a chance. Maybe.

Good point about Gibbs but DS didn't grow up watching RR and cheering for his teams. No way DS sees RR in the same light he sees Gibbs.

No he probably doesn't see Ron in the same exact way, but Gibbs was heavily involved in recruiting Ron, so there's at least that connection. And like Gibbs, Ron seems to know how to handle people very well.

Ultimately the best thing Ron can do to shield himself from Snyder is to win. He can't afford to have the team take a step back this year. Another playoff year will build significant clout for him.

Agree. Winning will make it difficult for DS to meddle and wreck the success. I think RR has a great chance to build on last season since he will have a legit pro playing QB.

I agree and that worries me.

If RR wins and keeps making good to great player selections, I think Snyder will stay away. I worry far less about the owner making big or small football decisions as with him being part of the draft/FA player choice process. That’s the biggest way he undermined all the good to great HC that he brought in. No HC can win if you’re bringing in mediocre talent in the draft OR trading away your draft picks for overpaid or over-rated or over-the-hill FA. Snyder and his lackey GM’s also made incredibly dumb HC choices such as Zorn or cutting HC after just one season (8-8) Schottenheimer.

I think the thing that has impressed me the most about RR is how he is managing the FA market and milking every $ of our cap money. He hasn’t over-reached for FA, which was something that Snyder could NEVER DO. Snyder was always more interested in getting a single “Big BANG” FA each Spring, versus upgrading a bunch of problem areas across the team.

I suppose it is possible for Snyder to finally learn from a professional like Rivera but eventually this team will falter or have a below average season. THAT will be the test for Snyder. Can he stay out of the personnel decision-making process, especially for he disagrees with RR?

I agree with that assessment. If Ron wins, he'll keep running things. He's a strong enough personality to put Dan at ease.

If the team isn't winning, Dan's tinkering tendency may arise, and with Ron, it may lead to some conflict.

The NFL has fined the Washington Football Team $10 million as a result of the league's investigation into the team's workplace culture.

The money will be "will be used to support organizations committed to character education, anti-bullying, healthy relationships and related topics," the league said.

In addition, Tanya Snyder, who was named the team's co-CEO this week, will take over the day-to-day duties and represent the franchise at league functions for the never several months. Her husband, Dan Snyder, will focus "on a new stadium plan and other matters," the NFL said.

All senior executives, including the Snyders, will take part in training in workplace conduct, covering topics such as bullying, diversity and inclusion, LGBTQ issues, microaggression and unconscious bias.

"I have learned a lot in the past few months about how my club operated, and the kind of workplace that we had. It is now clear that the culture was not what it should be, but I did not realize the extent of the problems, or my role in allowing that culture to develop and continue. I know that as the owner, I am ultimately responsible for the workplace. I have said that and I say it again," Dan Snyder said in a statement.

"I feel great remorse for the people who had difficult, even traumatic, experiences while working here. I'm truly sorry for that. I can't turn back the clock, but I promise that nobody who works here will ever have that kind of experience again, at least not as long as Tanya and I are the owners of this team."

Meh .. whatever. Hopefully they actually have a HR Dept and other positions/depts that all the other NFL teams have.

No more skimping on the organizational chart.

With all these new hires by RR to build our an actual complete FO plus this 10M fine .. Dan Snyder low cash flow pocket is hurting even more.

Biggest surprise is they didnt wait until tomorrow, Friday to announce the news.

Loverro was spot on this, naming Tanya CEO was in prevision of Snyder having to step aside for a while.

Anyway, this is a slap on the fingers for the cameras, and a tap on the back backstage. He's getting out of there stronger than ever.
