rajncajn Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Now I'm reading allegations of referee payoffs and game fixing, not just involving Washington. Yep, this could well end up being a deal breaker for a lot of fans who were already on the verge of walking away from the NFL. https://mobile.twitter.com/nestsports1933/status/1283823192457584641?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1283823192457584641|twgr^&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2F2%2Ftwitter.min.html1283823192457584641 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense of consistency with punishments etc. I remember the deflate gate stuff and they made Brady look like a "cheater", which I guess he was, but then Rodgers admitted to over inflating the balls and it was about as ignored as Jeffery Epstein killing himself. (Of course we all know he didn't) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If Snyder , and other owners , legitimately paid NFL officials to fix games , this will be one of the most enormous scandals the NFL has ever seen.

CowboysDiehard Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Well boys, I just called and cancelled the Sunday Ticket. They also gave me 60 bucks a month off my bill for 12 months on top of that. Off to the range on sundays this fall! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they take bets this fall? Will vegas have the type of reception they where anticipating, with the new team, and can fans launch a class action suit over paying to see fixed games. Nfl needs to take charge asap, and get their house in order. This could cause some real loss of $ to the brand and effect revenue streams for years (on top of covid) Boxing has a rule for officials, if you can prove your being bribed for a match, they will pay you double the bribe, working the match.

You hit it on the head. Many fans have one foot out the door already. If they miss a full season due to Corona and it's confirmed that they fixed games, goodnight NFL.

Yowzers. I will wait for the full deets which is going to be a long time, but this is going to get ugly. Paying off refs is not going to be a good look. The sexual stuff is bad personally for those guys but generally not a threat to the entire league, betting etc. But the payoffs are more systemically threatening for the NFL and the massive gambling industry that relies on it.

For all the bad thing's I've said about him, I'm sure that he wouldn't rig games to lose for gambling, and he isn't the type to try to fix games to win (or they would have...he's loaded). Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Sounds like it's a sexual harassment scandal: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/16/redskins-sexual-harassment-larry-michael-alex-santos ETA: so I guess the name change has less to do with corporate pressure and more to do with trying the 'ol CYA when the long-standing pervasive toxic culture of your organization gets exposed. Classic distraction. We all have sisters or daughters - screw these guys. Time to burn, Danny boy. Edited July 17, 2020 by stethant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonster Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If this is going to be a sexual scandal and a toxic work environment that may make Snyder lose the team and have some other league effects but in terms of reputational damage a lot less if this isn't about buying off refs.
