Nothing derogatory intended!!! I have been a salesman a couple of stretches in my life. I prefer Scotch over Beers though. Except in the summer. Then it's gin and tonics.

This has nothing to do with McVay or team culture.Since McVay has taken over, I have felt that the Rams are the best run organization in the NFL, and have created an incredible team culture.
This (if true) is very worrying. I hope that this has been addressed.
California court invalidates Rams' arbitration clause as unconscionable
The NFL's in-house arbitration procedure continues to crumble.www.nbcsports.com
This is upstair executive stuff. McVay has no control over this and probably didn't know about
until later.
If true, those responsible should and hopefully will be shown the door very quickly.
From the article:
"The dispute arose from a lawsuit filed by Brittany Todd against the Rams. She claims that her March 10, 2026 termination happened after she complained that her immediate supervisors were consuming alcohol during work hours “to the point of extreme intoxication,” that they coerced subordinate employees to consume alcohol, that they berated employees “to an abusive level” after becoming intoxicated, and that they berated employees for their religious views."
If true, it's crazy that while working, consuming alcohol to the point of extreme intoxication and the rest—salespeople or not how could they get away with this. I'm not getting in the alcohol debate. That's a personal choice provided you don't hurt others.
I have to wonder what time they worked? Were they partying at events? Not since High School have I tried to influence someone to drink. It has nothing to do with the football side of the Rams. It's not a good look for the organization.

Exactly. It was a great job with all the perks when it was fun. Until it wasn't.
Now the rules change. Time to clutch your pearls.
Why’s it so damned hard for some people to just be fucking professional?
Don’t get sloppy drunk on the job and blast subordinates for their religious views. That’s just basic ‘be an adult’ and ‘don’t be an asshole’ shit.
Seriously, if true, how is this even a discussion???
I was raised around alcoholics and I have zero tolerance. Don’t drink, either (granted, it feels like battery acid going down, so no amount of “flavor” could make me enjoy it).
Just sayin’, it’s beyond ridiculous in 2026 that we still have assholes finding any excuse to do juvenile shit like this…like grow the fuck up, already. If some asshole needs to drink to excess and talk shit about their coworkers, do it at home where they already know that someone is an asshole.
Again, if true, but at first blush, it sure seems true and this is on Demoff. From top to bottom, this organization is too classy and has worked too hard to shed the shitty culture of the Frontiere years to have ANYONE behave like this.
This is a story that makes sense as a Cowboys story, not a Rams story. We have more class than this.

There’s the other side.
Women now dominate the work place. They are no longer expected to stay home and nurse. That tired cliche has been dead for a long time.
Try being a manager and getting rough (verbally) with a female employee. Your ass is in HR—you’re fired if she pursues it further.
If the tables are turned, “she’s just tough. It’s her way.”
Been there.
Nearly every company starts ALL employees at a same given rate.
How you rise is different. That’s a story for another day.
The idea that women are short changed in the workplace is bullshit. They have the advantage and is why managers prefer women to be the assistant managers and supervisors. It’s the layer of protection.
It’s the cowardly way men run a large business. They give their agenda to their myrmidons and create a barrier between you and the REAL decision making. It works better if that go between is female.
Having said all that, bad behavior and unprofessional attitude is counterproductive and merits repercussions. I just didn’t want this to turn into another crying jag for women’s rights in the workplace. Trust me, they’re doing just fine.
I wasn't saying anything about women's rights. I was just talking about how salesmen are a different breed than every other guy in the workforce.
Sales people drink with clients all of the time especially when trying to land a big fish. You'd be surprised how hard they party. This is someone looking for a payday or is oblivious to the status quo of her industry
I have worked in beer for over 30 years. Sometimes it's my job to consume alcohol when I am at an event, trade show, or dinner with clients. I never get intoxicated on the job. I treat everyone with respect and give each individual the attention they deserve. I'm polite. I remember things about people families, hobbies, and beer interests. Be the professional in the room. If this is true, get rid of all of them.
Yeah but youre not selling to LA rich kids 100s if thousands of dollars in PSL fees alone. I mean these clients are far and wide when it comes to personalities and how they enjoy themselves.
Unfortunately youre at the mercy of those rich 24 year olds who love strippers and booger sugar
You are making assumptions without any facts. It doesn't sound like a person looking for a payday.
I totally get it. My point was something antiquated and SOP is what it is. She knew the game she was playing and cried foul when it suited her. Seriously, drunken horny salesmen didn’t help her at some point?
You are 100% correct in that many deals and working relationships in sales are handled this way.
If the job isn’t for you anymore, move on. That decision is made by people everywhere
Buzzed not drunk. Contracts signed while even moderately intoxicated may not be enforceable in CA.
