The NFL has fined the Washington Football Team $10 million for fostering a workplace culture where sexual harassment, bullying and intimidation was commonplace throughout most of Daniel Snyder’s ownership, the league announced Thursday.

“The culture of the club was very toxic,” said Lisa Friel, the league’s special counsel for investigations, during a conference call with reporters.

The NFL did not suspend Snyder but said that his wife Tanya, named the team’s co-CEO earlier this week, will assume responsibilities for all day-to-day team operations and represent the team at all league meetings and other league activities for at least the next several months. There was little to no sentiment among other owners throughout the process to force Snyder to sell the franchise, people familiar with the situation have said.

 

 

Well...JR was forced to sell what's the difference?

he fine was the outcome of a lengthy league investigation overseen by prominent D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson. The NFL will not release any detailed findings from Wilkinson’s investigation beyond a news release, nor will it address specific allegations levied by former employees against Snyder, Friel said.

Didn't Jerry say he was going to sell as soon as the investigation was announced? If he wanted to put up a fight, there's really not jack poo the NFL could have done to make him sell.

The executive committee can remove an owner with a 3/4 vote.

Yea I think JR chose to sell and wasn’t ‘forced’…not that he wouldn’t have been had he chose to fight it.

Itd be nice is people weren’t paid off and details/stories/lawsuits would come out and some jail time would be included. I’d prefer that to forcing them out personally. It’ll taint their business and ruin him personally to a much more satisfying degree IMO.

But lotta money involved for lots of people so that won’t happen.

These a crimes…not things you ‘fine’ people for.
