WFT's Off-Season Thread

[MTK]

Diverse and well qualified seems to be our theme lately. Good work by the WFT at least we're doing something right it seems. Wouldn't be surprised if we see the same theme play out with bringing in a new group of minority owners, if Snyder goes that route.

You mean reverse racism. These hires are all to placate the owners and play the PR game and help our turd owner look good given his past racial and gender transgressions. They are cynical public relations machinations and nothing more. There are qualified people with decades of experience and major gravitas, and we hire a 26 year old minority woman with NO NFL experience to a position that doesn't even really need to exist? Give me a break. This is so Snyder can wag his finger at anyone who criticizes him, or prevent such criticism, and that is the only reason. Snyder is never letting anyone have a stake in the team again. EVER.

This hire has 0 to do with Snyder. And it's a wise move regardless of ethnicity or gender. RR hired an executive secretary to help him stay organized. He may have had one down in Carolina, who knows. Nothing about this hire is worth stressing over, and also not worth the generated PR except in our country's current culture.

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.
