Washington Redskins name change: 'Warriors' leading contender

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.

I've been on record here a time or two stating I thought the league was rigged.  Now here we are. :sad:

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)

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. It will rock the sports world #pleasedontbejerry

They'll suffer, no doubt, but they won't lose money over time.  As always.

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.

Wow, those are some serious allegations. 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.

Oh wow, that is going to be bad if even a fraction of that is true.  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.

I think the Cowboys are in the clear.   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.

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.
