You've probably heard by now about the scintillating article by the Washington Post regarding the allegations against the toxic culture that's festered within the Redskins franchise. Despite all the anecdotes and claims, the name of owner Dan Snyder was never directly mentioned as a first-hand perpetrator for claims.
The Washington Post article detailed a grim picture of the Redskins workplace where misconduct and sexual harassment allegedly intertwined with the working environment. The 15 women accusers who worked for the company did not directly implicate Snyder or Bruce Allen.

Despite this, Snyder and the Redskins executives won't be walking away scot-free. There are still lingering questions whether or not Snyder — the leader and the man responsible for setting an appropriate work tone — allowed the culture of harassment to fester. Details reveal that unlike most owners, Snyder actually resides in Washington and has an active role in the organization. This further adds to the argument that Snyder is the one ultimately responsible for the harassment claims.
The story noted that Snyder “routinely belittled top executives.” Dennis Green, the organization's former sales executive, was reportedly Snyder's favorite. Apart from ridiculing Green for being a male cheerleader when he was in college, Snyder also reportedly made him do cartwheels for the owner and the other employees' entertainment.
Now, there are whispers that NFL owners may force Dan Snyder into doing some cartwheels of his own – to sell his stake in the franchise that is.
