I hate Goodell but this is all smoke IMO, he signs off on everything and does so on behalf of the other 31 owners. It would be very hard if not impossible to prove he knew the loan was fraudulent. Why would he think that? 55 million is pocket change to all the owners who are billionaires. Probably why they refused to investigate as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Obscenely rich people doing whatever they want? Even if it's fraudulent? Say it ain't so. Every billionaire has done tons plenty of immoral and unscrupulous things to get there. It's unfortunate that we reward this behavior. Screw Goodell though, hope he burns down with the Snyder ship.

Probably why they refused to investigate as well. Maybe. Snyder allegedly lied to BoA claiming he had board approval (which included these minority owners) for the loan application. If Snyder told the same lie to Goodell, then yes you’re right I don’t see how Goodell gets roped in. But if Goodell knew about Danny’s fib to the bank and did not do anything about it, then most certainly he too could be in hot water.

Brand J Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Goodell makes more money than any player in the league. I don’t like how he’s handled refereeing, saying it’s the best it’s ever been. He’s done well to expand the game globally, which puts more money in owners’ pockets, so that’s why he’s loved. I think a perfect mix of on-field play would be between Goodell’s league (soft) and Tagliabue’s (violent). Wouldn’t mind if Goodell was shown the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) The Snyder pursuers now have another reason for pounding NFL doors for more skeletons in their closet and more emboldened to suspect the NFL is still throwing shade on Snyder. Not the way to stay in good graces with the D.C. bunch bothered by the NFL’s above the law notion.

Should link to the actual ESPN article that has a lot of details, and not "amp.thecomeback.com" https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35726691/former-partners-say-dan-snyder-used-team-fund-lifestyle-took-improper-loan-their-approval As far as Goodell goes I think this is the relevant section: The NFL guarantees all debt taken out by teams. If a franchise wants to take on a new loan beyond strict set limits, it usually must get the permission of the league's finance committee and 24 of 32 owners. McCarthy, the NFL spokesman, did not answer a question about whether the finance committee and the 32 owners had approved Washington's new credit line. A franchise owner and a senior executive said Goodell is not responsible for scrutinizing the terms and conditions of loans. However, a team cannot assume fresh debt, which is guaranteed by the NFL, without Goodell's approval. Snyder, on the other hand, sounds like he may have committed fraud. He needed the board's approval to take out a new loan and he never got it (I'm unclear why the bank ever approved the loan though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed the board's approval to take out a new loan and he never got it (I'm unclear why the bank ever approved the loan though). When I read the article, I thought the same thing. This seems like gross negligence (at a minimum) on the part of the bank. They issued the loan without the necessary documentation, even after asking for it and not receiving it. I'm not a huge Goodell fan, but I don't see a whole lot of cuplability on his part here when it comes to the issuance of the loan. He and the league signed off on a loan that the presumed was valid. If the bank was willing to issue it, having (presumably) done their due diligence, why would the league object? They routinely sign off on such loans. Snyder for his fraud and the bank for its gross negligence seem to be the guilty parties. Where Goodell have have stepped into it was after the issuance of the loan, when Snyder's partners raised the issue of the fraudulent loan, Goodell swept it under the rug and tried to work a side deal to get around it, rather than addressing it. You may need to read the article to better understand my comments. Edited February 28, 2023 by msw2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 These 3 brave billionaires, in the end, stood not on principle, but on massive ROI and simply said "ok, never mind" on their way to the cash counter.... "Four days after the partners pressed the NFL arbitrator to seek proof that the loan was legally obtained, the documents show, the NFL moved to shut down arbitration proceedings. The partners begrudgingly agreed to mediation, led by Goodell, sources familiar with the matter told ESPN. The mediation resulted in the partners selling their shares, and it silenced their complaints against Snyder, the sources said." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
