Right before the weekend hit, the Raiders decided to make an announcement.

They fired team president Dan Ventrelle and he’s no longer with the NFL Team. It was one of those Friday news dumps. See the Raiders statement below:

Dan Ventrelle has been with the team for 18 years and clearly there was something more going on with this move.

According to Ventrelle, the Raiders fired him after he informed the NFL of multiple complaints from female employees about owner Mark Davis. He also brought the complaints directly to Mark Davis.

He gave Davis the opportunity to address them before he took them to the league office. Ventrelle released a statement explaining his version of how it went down:

When you see a man like Mark Davis, anything is possible. The haircut, him being a son of an NFL owner, did I say his haircut already?

Maybe that Friday news dump was the key, no one is really up in arms over Ventrelle’s claims against Davis.
