Raiders president says he was fired for blowing whistle on alleged Mark Davis misconduct

Friday morning, the Las Vegas Raiders made one of the more abrupt announcements of a team president's departure you will ever see.

Owner Mark Davis announced president Dan Ventrelle was no longer with the team and declined to provide any reason why.

Hours later, Ventrelle offered his side of the story, complete with troubling allegations about the Raiders and Davis in particular.

In a statement to Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ventrelle claimed he was fired as retaliation for informing the NFL of allegations that Davis had created a hostile work environment with other potential misconduct, allegations which Davis allegedly dismissed.
