Matty if this seems like an unnecessary thread because it is being discussed in other ones than 86 it. I think it is one of the bigger developments of the past 25 years and should have its own. Ill start the bidding with a resounding YES! He is ultimately responsible for the team, and especially the front office where this occurred. Couple that with his track record and I think he is an extremely bad look for the NFL.

As much as I want to see Snyder removed as the owner, i feel this is not what will do it.
I think we have to wait and see if any more news comes out on Dan and the other stuff that was allegedly going on there. So many people had said that yesterday's news was just scratching the surface of all that was going on.
So we will see. If more stuff comes out that directly implicates Dan, then yes, but if this is all there is, i would think at worst we would be punished by losing a 1st round pick, and perhaps Dan himself is fined. I am curious as to what the NFL will do, i see the story is now mentioned on NFL.com.

Not from this. He wasn't directly involved even though it did happen under his supervision.
I also don't think the owners will force action on simply having this culture in his office because many other teams likely have the same problem and they do not want to set the precedent.
It's very disappointing but I think he'll need to make the decision to sell on his own. I do foresee some pressure from sponsors, but it might not be enough to force him out.

I hate Snyder and what he has maliciously done to this franchise. I want him gone
That said, I can’t see how this scandal is enough to have him remove. I don’t think his actions/inaction warrant his dismissal.

Firing Mann and Santos before the story came out actually does help Snyder's case quite a bit. I doubt Larry Michael had planned to retire.
I don't know how much Snyder is even in the Redskins Park offices. If he's like most CEOs, he's rarely in the office and spends most of his waking hours meeting with prospective partners and government officials.
I AM NOT letting him off the hook. He is ultimately responsible for who works there.
There have been reports that Bruce Allen witnessed a woman crying at her desk after feeling harassed and did not even acknowledge it. He likely knew everything going on.
Again, I'm not excusing it, but this is likely Snyder's side of the story.
What I'm curious about...were any of these offenses ever reported to Human Resources or if that wasn't an option the women thought would help, to the Department of Labor before they went to lawyers and the media? Paper trails are important to validate these kinds of claims.

It Allen talks maybe
I doubt it, he's out of the franchise and would only implicate himself by talking. He's at the moment "safe" from this.
That doesn't mean others will talk and pull him into the fire.

I don't know how NDA work in terms of firing vs retiring. I imagine a fired person is going to say GFOH. I think Larry knows too much so he "retired" to sign a NDA to prevent the heads above from rolling.
