NoHuddleKelly12 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 IF even some of what’s been posted as likely substance is factual (thanks @DrDawkinstein for the leads), then how this doesn’t end up with Dan Snyder being forced out of ownership is beyond my pay grade to analyze. Consider that it’s common knowledge Snyder is one of the less likeable owners in the league to begin with (so prolly not many will rush to defend his management of the team) and as head of the ship would be a scalp (no pun intended) the NFL would probably not mind getting as a way to provide cover for the shield, if there’s even a hint that the league offices were made aware of any allegations along the way and failed to follow up independently? Lots of questions. Some of what’s alleged would make even Richardson blush, and he was forced out as well. https://www.sbnation.com/2017/12/17/16788572/panthers-owner-jerry-richardson-selling-team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be as simple as: The team was contacted last week with a chance to comment. Instead of commenting, they announced the name change as "cover", then waited until the last minute (last night) to tell the WaPo "this one part of your story is not true and if you print it we're suing", which causes WaPo to go back and re-vet their facts? Pretty simple stall tactic. Just now, Mr. WEO said: They have no ability to prevent it's publication. If WaPo is confident it is well-sourced, they will publish it. Lawyers can't stop publication Right, but if they were contacted last night or even this morning, they may want to take a couple hours to double-check, which could push it's release back a full day.

Ok, fair enough...but, then why wouldn’t that have been reported straight back to league offices, who presumably, if so, then did nothing about it? Other possibilities include the ‘skins were so bad, a few calls questionably going their way ended up not mattering?

I was mostly being sarcastic in my post; I think the bolded is probably true/it's possible Snyder didn't care so much about winning but simply wanted to hit on spread picks.
