What an Asshole and Goodell only helped Snyder.
I'm not going to have a conversation about whether Snyder is going to sell or not or if he can be forced out or not, but I'm curious if your opinion has changed at all
@rmcjacket23. Not a discussion, just curious what you think.
I mean, when I read a lot of the filing here, it's very heavy on "everybody knew about and did nothing about it" and very light on like actual details.
It's a civil suit, so its inherently just a money grab, and I think a lot of this is just an AG trying to get their name in the press for future political aspirations.
This falls under the category of "wake me when you have info I didn't already know". I know Snyder's a piece of shit, and I'm highly confident the NFL would be aware of an be involved in dampening the public shame of having the world find out that NFL franchises are like many large Corporations in the world, i.e. they're misogynistic and a product of rich people doing whatever they want. Much in the same way I know the NFL knows people like Gruden, Allen, etc are at least mildly racist, and didn't do anything about it until the public found out. Which I also don't really blame them for.
I'd prefer some actual criminal charges or something that would end up with an actual punishment in the long run, but to me, this is basically just an AG picking a fight with somebody he doesn't like in order to get some press, force Snyder to sell, and make the NFL look bad.
End of day, even when you read the particulars of the lawsuit, involving witness intimidation, cover up, etc., if they had criminal charges, they'd be going that route. The AG is just doing this dog and pony "I'm suing on behalf of all of DC (laughable)" for a totally arbitrary and unspecified amount of money, in an effort to get the findings of the investigation made public and to embarrass the NFL and get Snyder to sell.
If people are happy about that, so be it. I'll be the first to say I enjoy finding out that shit like this happens. But much like I think Congressional investigations of this stuff is wildly outside of the scope of what I'd want my elected officials partaking in, I'd feel the same about the AG of DC if I lived there. I'd rather seeing him going after criminal cases that impact actual people.
