What will be the new name for the Washington Redskins?

[Ann]

After conferring with my attorneys for five minutes,  my response would be, "I don't recall."

I think I'd go for something more along the lines of "I don't recall, you grandstanding, time-wasting harlot."

 

No one gives a shit about this.

Here's the jurisdiction of the House Oversight Committee:

 

Quote

Federal civil service, including intergovernmental personnel; and the status of officers and employees of the United States, including their compensation, classification, and retirement;
Municipal affairs of the District of Columbia in general (other than appropriations);
Federal paperwork reduction;
Government management and accounting measures generally;
Holidays and celebrations;
Overall economy, efficiency, and management of government operations and activities, including federal procurement;
National archives;
Population and demography generally, including the Census;
Postal service generally, including transportation of the mails;
Public information and records;
Relationship of the federal government to the states and municipalities generally; and
Reorganizations in the executive branch of the government.

 

I'd also say "Chairwoman Maloney, please explain how your committee has any jurisdiction over this matter at all.  You grandstanding, time-wasting harlot."

I have zero issues with Jordan asking him the things he did.  Goodell came across as a liar and a moron.

Regarding del Rio, all Goodell had to say was "It was an internal team matter, not a league matter."  Period.  Jordan would have kept asking, but that's all that needed to be said.

Goodell's pride wouldn't let him do that.  He's been around too long and is moving the NFL towards the 'woke' side of the spectrum.  I hope Goodell doesn't get another term as commissioner.

They should have renamed themselves the Defendants.

Welp, this is what the house oversight committee came back with:
 

Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder "permitted and participated" in the team's longtime toxic work culture and obstructed a 14-month congressional inquiry by dodging a subpoena, working to dissuade and intimidate witnesses from cooperating, and claiming more than 100 times in testimony that he could not recall answers to basic questions, according to the final report of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform.
 

The committee's 79-page report released Thursday also comes down hard on the NFL, concluding that the league was complicit in Snyder's efforts by not cooperating with the congressional inquiry and by burying a 2020-21 investigation of the Commanders' workplace led by attorney Beth Wilkinson, the results of which have never been fully released.
 

</snip>
 

Republicans on the committee issued a memo in response to the report, saying, "The Democrats' sham investigation into the Washington Commanders has been an egregious waste of taxpayer-funded resources" and that Democrats have misused a committee that should be focused on the government.

 

"No foundation exists for conducting congressional oversight of the Team," the memo says. "Simply put, Congress cannot provide any additional relief or remedies to any of the aggrieved parties. Why, then, has the Committee investigated a professional football team and targeted an individual team owner? Committee Democrats have chosen to weaponize the power of Congress against a single private workplace."

 

The GOP memo also joins in Snyder's refrain that former team president and general manager Bruce Allen is to blame for the team's toxic culture; Allen counters that he didn't work for the team during many of the years in question. The Republicans released 57 emails and documents, including dozens of images of nude and near-nude women that they say came from Allen's work account.

 

"These emails show that under Allen's leadership there was a toxic workplace -- one that has since been reformed based on independent third-party reviews of the team's culture," the memo says. "Committee Democrats have not identified or presented any similar emails or documents identifying any racist, misogynistic, or homophobic behavior from Dan Snyder."

 

In addition to its report, the House committee released excerpted transcripts from sworn testimony Snyder gave remotely from aboard his yacht in July, and from September testimony by Allen.

 

</snip>

 

Committee staffers recommended that Congress should require the NFL and its clubs "demonstrate compliance with state and federal employment laws as a condition to continue to benefit from federal antitrust exemptions as well as tax-exempt bonds used to finance construction and renovation of sports stadiums."

 

Several congressional measures have come out of the Commanders investigation. Democratic committee member Jackie Speier of California co-sponsored legislation in February titled "No Tax Subsidies for Stadiums Act" that would eliminate tax breaks used by professional sports teams. Chairwoman Maloney introduced a bill to require employers to give prior notice and receive consent to take and distribute professional images of employees, and to prohibit the use of nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements to prevent or interfere with an employee's ability to disclose harassment, discrimination or retaliation in the workplace.

 

The future of that legislation is uncertain. Speier is retiring and Maloney lost her primary race in August, and Democrats lost the House majority in November. Republican James Comer of Kentucky has already indicated that the Republican party has no interest in pursuing the investigation any further when he becomes the new chair of the oversight committee in January.

They could have saved a lot of money just writing the report without holding the hearings, given their findings were preordained.

I saw somewhere today that the Bills are valued at around $3.4bn. If the Pegulas decided to sell though, good chance they get north of $5bn.
