Harassing female employees may not be enough to get him fired, but the latest congressional findings about Dan Snyder may finally bury the owner of Washington Command. Former Washington Deputy Director of Sales and Customer Service, Jason Friedman, reportedly provided the House Oversight Committee with documents that Snyder franchise owners pocketed cash for owners Season tickets and other NFL teams. They may overlook the abusive culture in the workplace, but cash is king in the NFL, and if Snyder were, in fact, to steal from his fellow owners, the league might be inclined to quit. vote for him over.
The House Oversight Committee has been investigating the team’s toxic workplace for several months, at first focusing on allegations against Commanders executives from former (mostly female) employees associated with the team. regarding professional and sexual misconduct. They broadened the investigation to include financial misconduct after receiving tips from former employees – particularly from Friedman, who had been with the team for 24 years.
According to Friedman, according to Washington Post, Snyder, and the front office deducted ticket sales from visiting teams by allocating reported earnings to outside events, including college football concerts and games. . In the NFL, 40 percent of total revenue is distributed into the away team fund to be divided among 32 teams.
They also deduct refundable ticket deposits from season ticket holders who paid the equivalent of the deposit prior to renting their place. When the lease expired, the security deposit was meant to be returned, and the committee estimated that the Commanders owed season ticket holders up to $5 million.
Friedman said that the Commanders were holding two books – one with real accounts and one with verified numbers that were shipped to the tournament. The club has categorically denied all charges and has accused Friedman of perjury, but there is an interesting wrench to come up in this investigation – in the NFL’s initial investigation (the investigation was never completed). is completed with a written report because, you know, Goodell), the former Director of Marketing and Customer Relations told attorney Beth Wilkinson that she suspects that the team studied the sales numbers. ticket sales in 2020.
Of course, the NFL completely screwed everyone who came to testify against the commander’s office in the Wilkinson investigation, covering up all of their findings and preventing any written reports, that is what initially set off alarm bells prompted an investigation by Congress. Franchising. The alliance itself, which is allegedly being robbed, has yet to conduct any investigations or make any meaningful legal consequences. We already know they don’t care about violence against women, but perhaps this allegation of financial misconduct will eventually make the union wake up to what’s happening in Washington.
