Expand To be fair, assuming Snyder wouldn't pay them to rig it for Washington to lose, it seems like the refs might not have actually taken him up on his offer lol On 7/16/2020 at 6:09 PM, Mr. WEO said: How? Why would a newspaper delay publishing a story because a team hired a lawyer to do an internal policy review? Expand I think the current belief at least is that the lawyers are trying to prevent WaPo from releasing the article in addition to the damage control that they leaked to Schefter.

Expand They have no ability to prevent it's publication. If WaPo is confident it is well-sourced, they will publish it. Lawyers can't stop publication

It could be as simple as: The team was contacted last week with a chance to comment. Instead of commenting, they announced the name change as "cover", then waited until the last minute (last night) to tell the WaPo "this one part of your story is not true and if you print it we're suing", which causes WaPo to go back and re-vet their facts? Pretty simple stall tactic. On 7/16/2020 at 6:17 PM, Mr. WEO said: They have no ability to prevent it's publication. If WaPo is confident it is well-sourced, they will publish it. Lawyers can't stop publication Expand Right, but if they were contacted last night or even this morning, they may want to take a couple hours to double-check, which could push it's release back a full day. No? 1

Expand Ok, fair enough...but, then why wouldn’t that have been reported straight back to league offices, who presumably, if so, then did nothing about it? Other possibilities include the ‘skins were so bad, a few calls questionably going their way ended up not mattering? All conjecture at this point. 1
