Dan Snyder is currently facing quite possibly the most scrutiny of his 21 years owning the team after The Washington Post published an article Thursday that detailed a culture of rampant sexual misconduct within the organization, with 15 different female employees and two female reporters alleging they were sexually harassed by high-ranking team employees.
Snyder has since sent a memo to employees apologizing for the situation, but people would still like for him to sell the team and distance himself from the NFL altogether.
All of this is a familiar story for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who ended up donating $10 million after Sports Illustrated dropped a shocking story of sexual misconduct on his own team in 2018.
“Literally, I started crying,” Cuban said during his SiriusXM Radio show. “I was so upset.”
With that experience, Cuban offered some advice to Snyder:
“If you know Dan Snyder, if you’re involved with the Redskins, if you connect to them, tell Dan and tell his senior management you’ve got to just recognize what you did right and what you did wrong,” Cuban said. “You have to accept the mistakes you made. That’s painful. I made a lot of mistakes. And that’s the only way this is going to get resolved.”
Following the release of the story on Thursday, Snyder addressed the allegations twice.

“The behavior described in yesterday’s Washington Post article has no place in our franchise or society,” the statement said. “This story has strengthened my commitment to setting a new culture and standard for our team, a process that began with the hiring of Coach Rivera earlier this year.”
Currently, the team is conducting a review of the organization’s culture in the past, as it hired attorney Beth Wilkinson to conduct the investigation.
