Feels like a coordinated attack on Dan Snyder’s good character to pressure him into a name change.

More like trying to pressure him into selling.

The #Redskins sexual assault allegations stem from 2006 to 2019 and fall into two categories: unwelcome overtures or comments of a sexual nature, and exhortations to wear revealing clothing and flirt with clients to close sales deals

Being held at gunpoint / knifepoint isn't the same as someone asking you to prostitute yourself.

One situation you can walk away from, the other you can't.

They shouldn't have to. Which is why I said what those men did was fricked up. However, those women found themselves in the unfortunate position of having to choose between whoring themselves out or losing a job. It wasn't fair, it wasn't right, but it was the reality at that time because their employers were trash human beings.

Walk out and report that shite.

If my employer asks me to do something that is outside of my moral, ethical or personal boundaries, I'm either reporting it or leaving.

Of course. They are trying to “Donald Sterling “ him. I have forced myself to watch Wokecenter this morning. Very strongly hinted that is the solution.

One of the victims interviewed said “someone yelled at me and I didn’t think it was my fault.”

Yeah, this isn’t enough to oust Snyder. If he were smart, he could use the name change to his benefit. Hold a press conference saying that even though he’s not in the building every day (deflect blame), as the owner, ultimately the culture of the organization starts with him (takes responsibility).

“So, I have implemented A,B, and C to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. I will do better. We will do better. We must. We owe it to our current and former employees. We owe it to our great fans throughout not only the D.C. area, but throughout the world. And even though the 2 things don’t have anything to do with each other, I think changing the team name comes at a great time to symbolize that we are entering a new era of Washington football both on and off the field and cultivating a new culture of success in both arenas. That is why I am proud to announce the new team mascot at this time. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, The Washington War Hogs (or whatever).”

But Snyder is going to have to actually speak in front of cameras at some point. Press releases and sending Rivera out there to face the media isn’t gonna cut it.
