The weird thing to me is that had they not needed to distract from the Allen stuff, it seems plausible they’d have just done it without any pre-announcement.

What?

Lol come on man. No, this type of shit is literally NEVER announced a few days before hand.

You’re clearly a bright guy so your angle in this thread confuses me greatly. How are you not agreeing that 2+2=4 and the Redskin team is complete garbage for this and obviously trying to cover for future leaks??

NFL general counsel Jeff Pash and former Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen had a close relationship, according to emails collected during the NFL's workplace misconduct investigation of the Washington franchise, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday night.

The emails between Pash and Allen show Pash reassuring Allen on controversies involving the Washington franchise and discussing league issues and other topics, including politics...

Pash, in one email exchange in 2013, told Allen that his franchise would not have to pay a $15,000 fine for manipulating their injury report, according to the New York Times. Allen's appeal was initially denied only to be overruled by Pash, who wrote to Allen that the franchise did not have to pay the fine "or any other amount with respect to this matter and you should consider the fine to be rescinded in its entirety."

In another exchange, according to the Times, Allen contacted Pash after the Washington franchise was entangled in sexual harassment allegations involving its cheerleaders. Pash responded to Allen that, "I know that you are on it and would not condone something untoward."

Of course not, which is why I never said that.

My point was that if you believe - like I do - the Redskins announced it this week to distract from the Allen emails, then it’s reasonable to believe they had no intention of announcing it at all. You’d just show up Sunday and get treated to a little halftime show honoring Taylor, kind of like going to a Bulls game without knowing you’ll get to see the guy who contorts himself into a tiny glass box at half.

The reporting is clear that friends, family and teammates knew at least as early as September. That there are events planned around this gives credence to the idea that this was not some last minute, thrown together ceremony.

I hear you, but even a month ago, I think it was being planned for this reason. It was just hard to announce it last week.

There is something hilarious about a situation where literally everyone except Dan Snyder catches heat

He graciously stepped down so his wife could run things.
