I agree. Pretty sad that he has time for all this stuff and previously all the Trump stuff, but not enough time to do his core duty to protect kids.
In any event, the NFL just called his bluff and buried him with 1.6 million pages of documents. The choice is now in his lap whether he wants to move forward with this, which the NFL is signaling will require his office to dedicate resources well in excess of what they have to continue this charade.
His core duty is not to protect kids; prosecuting crime in D.C. is a federal responsibility, not the local attorney general's.
His primary responsibility is juvenile justice (aka keeping kids safe). After that, he is responsible for consumer protection, housing, labor and child support enforcement.

Yeah, I dislike Dan Snyder as much as anyone else who has watched him destroy a team I grew up rooting for and really enjoyed, but this lawsuit is sort of silly harassment. I'm not necessarily opposed to the government harassing Dan Snyder, though, so ... I'm fine with it.

Um, so long as any part of the violation affects DC residents, the DC OAG gets to address it.
The “violation” is that they may have made a vague promise that may or may not have been addressed to DC residents with vague outcomes. This is not some form of consumer fraud issue, it is not possible to articulate a specific harm to DC residents and he absolutely does not “get to address it”.
I used to like Karl Racine but he losing the plot. This lawsuit is for headlines and lacks merit. This will get tossed on one or both grounds of jurisdiction and 12(b)(6).
Did you read the complaint?
Do you understand the law? It’s a consumer protection complaint.
Who are the consumers? Does he think people won't go to football games if there is a bad workplace environment for the team? "I feel ripped off that I watched that game, since now I know Dan Snyder put his hand on a cheerleader's leg." (Meanwhile there is some evidence that Mark Cuban put his finger INSIDE a random woman who asked to have her picture taken with him. But that's basketball I guess?) If Dan Snyder had said, "We promise you a winning season" THEN there would be some victims.
I really and truly think Dan Snyder is the victim in all of this. They want to get rid of him for some reason, any way they can. None of this is fair.
This is the crazy thing and you hit the nail on the head. The idea that there are DC residents that have been harmed by spending money on the WFT that they otherwise would not have spent except for being told that the team effectively dealt with an HR issue. Who are these people? What is the tangible harm that they faced exactly?
The reality is that anyone who is a DC resident and is STILL a fan of the team is impervious to any outside information affecting their decision making. The funny thing is that most DC residents I know who were born and raised here are Cowboys fans.

The financial aspect is the only angle that is worth pursuing. We're supposed to care that women who jiggle their boobs in front of tens of thousands of people for a living are shocked -- shocked, I say -- that all this time they were seen as merely sexual props? Who is that naive?

And even if they did, Racine has no legal grounds to compel them to do so.

The NFL called the lawsuit “legally unsound” and not to take the side of the NFL or Snyder, but they are correct.
Not to get too much into the weeds here, but this statement from Racine is just preposterous for anyone that knows anything about corporate law. The idea that he would be able to pierce the corporate veil and individually name Snyder as a co-defendant is the kind of thing you see on TV shows like “Suits”. It is not however how the law works in the real world and Racine should be professionally embarrassed for publicly telling this to people. He’s an Ivy-educated smart guy, he should know better.
