Quote:National Football League team Washington Redskins' majority owner Daniel Snyder has found himself in trouble yet again and this time it's allegedly for sex trafficking. The minority shareholders are apparently looking at bringing him down citing inappropriate and unchaste behavior as one of the major reasons....Allegedly, Jay Gruden, Larry Hess and Eric Schaffer are in trouble too.

From what I have read it is 15 women who worked for the organization coming forward about sexual harrasment and a front office that made the workplace like a Boy's Club.  Specifically mentioned are the two employees who were recently fired, along with the director of sales.  Nowhere did I see Gruden mentioned.

IMHO this thread should be locked.  I don't think it's fair to have Jay's name attached to a link with sex trafficking in the title.  Not to mention he's no longer a Bengals employee and this is afterall JN.

It's Bengals related and it's the off season. I suppose we must make room for the puppet interview threads.

Forgive me, but attatching the words "sex traficking" to someone's name is some serious, serious shit.  That man has a family.  Until his name is actually mentioned in real publications i don't think it's fair at all to spread rumors.  For the last few days everybody and their brother has been speculating on what this article would reveal, and many of them came up with all sorts of shat that hasn't proven to be true.  I just figured as Bengals fans, most of us fans of Jay, that we could be a better than that.

As far it not relating to JN, it doesn't.  As of right now it's Redskins story.  Until he's actually implicated then why polllute our board with talk about what their executives did or didn't do?

Jay Gruden is quoted where? It was breaking news that linked people above and below his position. It was speculative. YES. But so is 100% of the crap on the boards. It is up to you to decide true or false, read the article and not the headline. It was a crap article from a celebrity-centric website and a celebrity-centric author. But it was news. Do you think your opinion on the Bengals is factual and not intertwined with speculation?????

The fact that you got it moved because you don't like free speech is gross.

You are worried about Jay Gruden's family? When was family an issue when anyone discussed Bobbie Hart or Price or Ross. You get the feels for Gruden and then get a post removed because of some post count crap is gross.

I simply posted a link about a breaking story that included a former Bengals coach. I will note your strict guidelines for what belongs in JN moving forward.

This story has nothing to do with Jay Gruden, nor is he in "hot water".

But some "legit" media people were hinting at the much bigger things talked about here. Yeah, meaww is disgusting, but there are other media folks who should maybe not talk so loud next time.
