There’s a doozy of an article published by The Washington Post today titled “Lewd cheerleader videos, sexist rules: Ex-employees decry Washington’s NFL team workplace.” It took me 20 minutes to read and digest the entire thing, but it was worth it.

The TL:DR version is that rich misogynist men created a terrible workplace environment (allegedly), which is what the Post has reported about Daniel Snyder’s organization in the past. This article specifically talks about an explicit video that was created for Snyder using outtakes of a cheerleader video shoot dating back more than 10 years.

The relevant passage:

In “Beauties on the Beach,” the official video chronicling the making of the Washington NFL team’s 2008 cheerleader swimsuit calendar, the women frolic in the sand, rave about their custom bikinis and praise a photographer for putting them at ease in settings where sometimes only a strategically placed prop or tightly framed shot shielded otherwise bare breasts.

What the cheerleaders didn’t know was that another video, intended strictly for private use, would be produced using footage from that same shoot. Set to classic rock, the 10-minute unofficial video featured moments when nipples were inadvertently exposed as the women shifted positions or adjusted props.

The lewd outtakes were what Larry Michael, then the team’s lead broadcaster and a senior vice president, referred to as “the good bits” or “the good parts,” according to Brad Baker, a former member of Michael’s staff. Baker said in an interview that he was present when Michael told staffers to make the video for team owner Daniel Snyder.

Welp.

That’s quite damning, if true. Just last month the Post did a long form expose on alleged  widespread sexual harassment in the Washington football organization, which resulted in Snyder bringing in a law firm to take a look at all of this stuff and make recommendations and blah blah. Standard fare.

Bad time to be Dan Snyder though, right? Your football team absolutely stinks, and you were forced into changing the name after sponsors became fed up. Now former employees are coming out of the woodwork to say how much of an asshole you are (allegedly), while condemning the (alleged) toxic workplace environment.

Anyway, you should read this story if you find some time.

Here it is (no paywall):
