scandal. Tom Werner made his fortune by producing the Bill Cosby show in the 80s. As producer on the show, he knew about the rape allegations and did nothing about it. He's on par with Joe Paterno.
He has denied having any knowledge at the time, but that is Bullshit:

(35,432 posts)You, and this entire forum, would demand that he resign immediately. You'd yell at the Commissioner to push him out of the league, and you'd call the Yankees "rapist enablers".
BUT...since this is the saintly fucking Red Sox, you, and other members of this board, look the fucking other way. You bunch of fucking hypocrites.
So, don't ever call my Yankees evil ever again so long as the Red Sox are owned by a rape enabler.

Personally, I'm fine with conducting witch hunts of all billionaires to find out what they are hiding. Nobody gets that rich with clean hands after all.

(64,931 posts)they have done to ruin the game of baseball over the last 40 years. Steinbrenner and the criminal organization their is far worse than all other baseball operations combined.

(35,432 posts)The Yankees, more so than any other organization, brought millions of eyes to the game. Did you see the ratings for the last WS? Without the Yankees, America does not watch baseball. Deal with it.
But, back on point, tell me honestly. You don't think that this board would be demanding that Werner resign immediately if he were a principal owner of the Yankees and made his fortune off of the Cosby show. As the producer of that show, and Cosby's recent show, he made millions which allowed him to buy a major share of that franchise. What did he know? What actresses did he pay off and silence?
