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.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
