Trouble in Redskins Park?

The article clearly states from multiple people inside the Organization McC drinking was never an issue. If McC drinking was the issue, the article about McC "downfall" as a skins executive would absolutely be about his struggles, addiction, etc. There also would be evidence of issues or events cited. There isn't any.

The problem, of course, is whether the article is authoritative, or speculative. If authoritative, then you would be right. But it isn't. It's reporters culling sources and making an article out of it. We don't, and may never, know the full story, but to assume only wrong on one side, ie "drinking was never an issue", seems to imply a bias in the reporting to me. An alcoholic, just like any other addict will have days and weeks where his/her addiction overrides his/her ability to function at work.

Journalist who wrote it is a stand up, guy in the know. I didn't read it as speculative at all. Seems well sourced with clear events and examples of a power struggle between Bruce and McC.

The drinking issue is mention and vetted in the article. If there was more of a story there, we should have heard of this from other sources.

But other sources have clearly speculated on dysfunction within the org and NOT a drinking problem.
