In the wake of The Washington Post’s bombshell report about Washington’s NFL team Thursday, the only thing more noticeable than the team’s dire need for a complete cultural reset was its staggering reaction at the top.
According to The Post, 15 (!) women who worked for the club over the past two decades alleged sexual harassment by former scouts and members of team owner Daniel Snyder’s inner circle.
Noticeably absent in that report were direct allegations against Snyder, the beleaguered owner who has shepherded the team’s fall from NFL royalty.
Here’s what was also noticeably absent in the aftermath of this damning story: the lack of a timely statement from Snyder, who waited 18 hours to release one and left the talking to a new coach who suddenly (and unfairly) found himself speaking about past deeds in an organization he’s been a member of for only six months.
