RR having a secretary is a wise move if he wants one. But that isn't what the focus is on, is it? It is ridiculous to suggest that all these minority and female hires have nothing to do with the looming sexual harassment suits, the NFL investigation, the history of players being told not to look Snyder in the eyes, the atrocious perception of organization, etc., especially because many were made before conclusion of investigation that could have forced Snyder to sell team. No organization exists in a vacuum in that regard. Even if Snyder did not order the hires, and I believe he did in aggregate by saying the organization wanted to be more progressive in future and spinning it that way, they are being made with an eye towards making him look progressive to refute the absolutely atrocious behavior of this organization during his ownership. I agree not worth PR, but let's be clear: these moves are being made with at least some consideration to improving the organization's horrible public perception. The worst move, IMHO, was Donaldson. She is attractive but is a thoroughly average journalist at best who I have never heard say a single insightful thing, and was absolutely hired primarily because of her gender, probably entirely because of it.
We haven't hired a purple polka-dotted bisexual midget yet, we'd better get on that.
