Make sure you look at original source.  Florio has been milking ad money on another person's story.

NFL's Commanders Allegedly Used 'Two Books' To Track Finances

Quote

“The Committee continues to investigate the hostile workplace and culture of impunity at the Washington Commanders as well as the National Football League’s inadequate response and lack of transparency,” a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said in a statement to FOS. “The Committee will follow the facts wherever they may lead.”

 

Some of those on committee have been seen in owner's box during games.

I'm no fan of Snyder but I find it a little hard to believe that a skim operation like this would escape the attention of an organization the size of the NFL.

Quote

In the letter obtained by The Associated Press, the committee said the team withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and refundable ticket deposits from season-ticket holders.

The committee said emails, documents and statements made by former employees indicate team executives and owner Dan Snyder engaged in "a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct."

And yet it did....

 

 

It's not that hard to believe it escaped the NFL's notice. This is a case of "no one would ever really do this to us, would they?"  If you are going to a commit a crime, break new ground.

Screwing the fans is one thing I'm sure Goodell and the league can come to peace with.  Don't see how Snyder survives screwing the other owners.

This will test how the NFL responds. They have been willing to sweep a lot under the rug to "protect the shield." But now it's personal between the owners. The old boys' club finally has one of it's own committing fraud against the rest of them. Once they pick their jaws up off the floor, how will they respond?

Something tells me Goodell and NFL owners are secretly relieved this story is coming out. They need a reason to push Snyder out the door. Now they have one.

As long as it doesn't open up the league to more scrutiny on other internal matters they've kept under wraps.

if it does, then the league has only themselves to blame since they should have pushed this criminal out of the league years ago.

If he survives this he's got to have a hell of a lot of dirt on some people.

This Dan Snyder is one heluva guy.  Taping cheerleaders undressing, cheating his season ticket holders, and stealing from other league owners.

 

[iccrewman112]

If ONLY Ralph skimmed some cash he wouldn’t have had to be known as CHEAP

[Dablitzkrieg]

Dan is cheap!

[thenorthremembers]

Did he at least give the other owners a free pepsi?

Dear eball,

 

I find such remarks by you not only detestable in impugning the character of an overachiever and great America such as Mr. Snyder, but also your musings fall far below the standard of what we should all come to expect here from our Board Members at The Stadium Wall.

 

In short; be better.

 

Respectfully,

Based on previous actions taken by NFL (i,e, Fixbouro) the rule is "Don't get caught and don't let press find out."

$nyder is NOT one of the old boys.  He is one of the new kids on block who wants to make NFL less representative and more let big teams get more money for they deserve it.  Sort of like Free Agency even though lip service to team.

[Nextmanup]

If they really did keep 2 sets of books, and the investigation is going full tilt boogey, his goose is finally cooked!

 

Could be the best thing that ever happened to Redskins fans!

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) who said, “Quite frankly, as you go through the allegations it reads like a description of some organization out of the Godfather and not an NFL football team."

 

As an Italian/American, I am offended that Dan Snyder is referred to as anything remotely akin to an Italian/American crime boss.  Dan Snyder couldn't hold Don Corleone's jock strap.

If you refer to $nyder's national background you get totally lambasted.
