Defensive tone

Because Richardson became known for being forced to sell his team after reports of his sexual harassment of women employees and use of racial epithets surfaced, you would think the article might mention them. It does, but only after damning the accusers as "anonymous sources who were reneging on signed settlement agreements," as if that were more important than their accusations--which the article never details. And before we get there we read that "he was said to be a 'champion of diversity', with African-American Cam Newton as starting quarterback and Hispanic Ron Rivera as head coach." He deserves credit for both decisions, but they came more than twenty years after Al Davis hired Tom Flores and Art Shell; in context calling him a champion of diversity sounds like an anticipatory defense to the facts that follow.

I'm not saying that we need to turn this article into a criticism session, but someone with a better handle on the subject needs to edit for tone and content. RootlessIrishman (talk) 02:09, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
