"Football Team" owner Dan Snyder settled a sexual harassment claim by a former employee in 2009 for $1.6M.  I'm sure this will the last straw that gets him kicked out of the owners' club...yeah, right.

Washington Football Team settled sexual misconduct claim against Daniel Snyder for $1.6 million

A female employee in 2009 made a sexual misconduct claim against Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder, whose franchise is under investigation for its alleged culture of workplace harassment.

The Washington Football Team paid a female former employee $1.6 million as part of a confidential settlement in 2009, according to a copy of the agreement reviewed by The Washington Post. The settlement was struck after the woman accused team owner Daniel Snyder of sexual misconduct, a person familiar with the matter said.

 

The alleged incident occurred on Snyder’s private plane on a flight returning from the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, said the person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity. In court records filed Monday as part of an ongoing feud among the team’s owners, Snyder’s business partners referenced the woman’s allegation, calling it “a serious accusation of sexual misconduct.”

The revelation of a seven-figure settlement involving Snyder comes as the NFL conducts an investigation into sexual harassment inside the organization he has owned since 1999.

AD
 

Key details of the agreement reviewed by The Post align with a settlement that surfaced during the NFL’s investigation, and that the team’s lawyers are fighting in federal court to keep under wraps.

Snyder and the team declined to comment or answer any questions about the settlement or allegations. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined a request for comment about whether it was aware of this settlement or any related allegations.

The female employee made “certain allegations” in April 2009, according to a copy of the agreement, and was later fired. The agreement, which was signed on July 22 of that year by an attorney on behalf of Snyder and two other team executives, did not describe the nature of the allegations. In the agreement, neither Snyder nor the team acknowledged any wrongdoing.

 

Though the woman had been terminated for cause, she and the team agreed that her personnel file would be changed to show that she voluntarily resigned. The team also provided the woman with a letter of recommendation, signed by Mitch Gershman, then the team’s chief operating officer, which described her as “well-respected by her colleagues here at The Washington Redskins and around the NFL” and said she “will be an asset to another organization.”

AD

The former employee did not respond to requests for comment, and her husband declined to comment this summer. Her attorney, Brendan Sullivan, declined to comment on Sunday. The Post is not identifying the woman because she is an alleged victim of sexual misconduct. Gershman did not respond to a request for comment.

Following a July report by The Post in which 15 women said they were sexually harassed while working for the team, Snyder hired D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson to investigate. A month later, another 25 women made similar claims in another Post report, which also described lewd videos produced by the team from outtakes of cheerleader calendar shoots in 2008 and 2010.

 

In a series of public statements, Snyder has denied knowledge of the existence of the lewd cheerleader videos and pledged to address problems in his team’s workplace culture.

 

She was scheduled to interview Snyder as part of the probe on Nov. 18, she said in a court filing.

On Nov. 9, David Donovan, the team’s former general counsel, sued Wilkinson in an effort to stop her from disclosing information relating to a confidential settlement from 2009. Donovan dropped the case, but after a judge ruled that some documents should be made public, lawyers for the team intervened to propose redactions that would keep details of the settlement private.

It is unclear from the scant records made public whether this is the same settlement agreement reviewed by The Post, but Sullivan, the attorney for the woman who accused Snyder of misconduct in 2009, also is involved in the case prompted by Donovan’s lawsuit. Sullivan submitted an affidavit in support of Wilkinson, court records show.

AD
 

Court records in Donovan’s lawsuit describe that settlement as involving five parties, and the settlement reviewed by The Post also has five parties: the woman, Snyder, the team, Donovan and Gershman. Donovan led the team’s investigation into the woman’s allegations that preceded the settlement The Post reviewed, according to the person familiar with the matter.

Lawyers for Wilkinson, Donovan, and the team are in ongoing negotiations over redactions to documents that eventually will be made public as part of that lawsuit, according to court records. A judge in that case has given the parties until Jan. 5 to come to an agreement. Last week, lawyers for The Post asked a judge to allow the newspaper to intervene in the case, arguing that “any redactions should be minimal,” court records show.

In court filings, Wilkinson’s lawyers have urged a judge to permit the release of documents relating to the settlement “so the public can understand what [Donovan] is trying to accomplish through this lawsuit and how it relates to the investigation writ-large.

 
 

Donovan declined to comment. Wilkinson did not respond to requests for comment and her attorney, Thomas Connolly, declined to comment.

The 2009 agreement reviewed by The Post was signed by Howard Shapiro, an attorney for Snyder; Gershman; and Donovan. Shapiro declined to comment. The agreement also released from any liability the owner of the Academy of Country Music Awards, Dick Clark Productions, which was then owned by an investment group including Snyder.

In a court filing on Monday, attorneys for the minority owners accused “Mr. Snyder or his agents” of being the sources of information that was the basis for a story published Saturday by the New York Times. Adam Van Grack, an attorney for minority owners Robert Rothman, Frederick Smith and Dwight Schar, declined to comment.

 

In that story, which focused on the escalating tensions between Snyder and the three owners seeking to sell their minority shares, the Times reported that in the wake of investigations by the team and an outside law firm into 2009 allegations, “The team fired the woman because it said she lied to the team’s lawyers.”

 

The story said the financial settlement that year was reached to avoid any potential negative publicity if the woman sued Snyder. The amount of the settlement was not specified.

In a court filing Monday, the minority owners said, “This self-serving and one-sided framing of a serious accusation of sexual misconduct against Mr. Snyder, which depicts the victim as someone who ‘lied’ and portrays the settlement solely as a payment ‘to avoid negative publicity if the woman sued,’ further confirms that Mr. Snyder or his agents are the source of the leaks of confidential information.”

Goddamn, Haskins is a stupid mother fucker. Mask or not, how ‘bout stay out of the titter right after your loss, bro? 

Quote

The Washington Football Team said it was aware of pictures on social media showing quarterback Dwayne Haskins at a strip club Sunday night while not wearing a mask, and that the team will handle the issue internally.

Haskins tweeted an apology, saying he spoke with coach Ron Rivera on Monday and "took full responsibility for putting the team at risk. It was irresponsible and immature and I accept responsibility for my action." He also issued an apology to his teammates for "creating a distraction during our playoff push."

Haskins later set his Twitter account to private.

The team said it has made the league aware of the picture that was on Instagram, which was taken hours after Haskins had started in Washington's 20-15 loss to Seattle. Handling the issue internally likely means Haskins will be fined, as he was earlier this season when he violated COVID-19 protocols by making reservations for a family friend to stay at the team hotel the night before a road game against the New York Giants.

The breach was caught before the person arrived, but Haskins was still fined $4,833.

Probably stay off Twitter, dumbfuck.

Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and wide receiver Rashard Higgins were both cited for drag racing Tuesday morning.

"We are aware of the incident, will gather more information and handle this matter appropriately," a team spokesman said.

The citation occurred in Westlake, Ohio, about 10 miles from the Browns' practice facility.

According to the service report released by Westlake police, the two were pulled over just before 9:30 a.m. and were each written $124 tickets. Police also conducted a probable cause search in one of the vehicles for a suspected marijuana joint, according to the report. Police didn't specify which vehicle had the joint, and neither Higgins nor Willis was cited for it.

Police did not specify how fast either were driving.

Cleveland's players were off on Tuesday.

Wills, the No. 10 overall pick in the draft this year, has started all but one game at left tackle for the Browns this season.

Higgins has emerged as a key target for quarterback Baker Mayfield late in the year. Tuesday evening, Higgins posted on Twitter that his "foot slipped," in regards to the drag racing citation, before deleting the tweet. He also posted he "was tryna get away from Covid" before deleting that tweet, as well.

The Browns were slammed with more COVID-19 trouble Tuesday, as head coach Kevin Stefanski, receiver KhaDarel Hodge and Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio all tested positive for the virus, knocking them out of Sunday's playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He's not that good though.

As a rule of thumb, if you can get a top 10 qb for a contract like that, you probably want to go ahead and do that...

Never had a run game, always plays behind a suspect Oline, the Lions have been a shit show since the beginning of time. Get this guy on a real real with a real winning culture and he’s going to pull a Ryan Tannehill. If he goes to SF and they’re healthy again next year, that’s probably your NFC favorites again.
