Legendary interview with creepy porn lawyer, more of it coming up, hes, actually out of jail in home confinement, but first its been a tumultuous week for the Washington Redskins. First, they came to the mob and change their name and fifteen former employees say the organization is a toxic workplace for women. Reporter Dax Holt has been following the story and he joins us now. This looks terrible if this is a pretty serious story. Thanks for having me, basically, the Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has faced a lot of controversy. First, the pressure to change the teams 87 year old name and now, like you said, a fifteen former female employees have come forward in a Washington Post exclusive detailing numerous instances of sexual harassment and an unhealthy work environment in the article. The women described culture of fear and belittlement, and they say it was a place where executives, berated them made comments on their
appearance and let the women feeling helpless when complains about executives were ignored, one full time staffer for about two hundred and twenty full time. Employees, the women told the post that there were often informally told by other veteran employees which males to avoid in the hallways and stairwells to avoid because it could lead to men looking up their skirts. As for Daniel Snyder himself, he was not accused of sexual harassment, but more as a boss who belittles his senior employees. One former employee went on to tell a story where he they alleg that Snyder after a meeting would berate one of his senior management members saying he would make fun of the fact that he was a cheerleader in college and made him to cartwheels down the hall. Snyder declined to comment on the story and they now have two law firms working on this one to handle the situation and the other the name change. What kind of reputation does Daniel Snyder
have besides underachieving on the field and firing coaches? No, there has been a lot of stories over the years, so you know sometimes these things catch up with you and thats. All I can say three employees accused of improper behavior, Alex Santos and the team director of personnel. This could get really bad. It is like it reads like animal.
