Three women accused Mariners executives of inappropriate workplace conduct in 2009-10, a Seattle Times investigation found. And in 2015, camera operators at Safeco Field shot up-close video of two female fans, with the footage compiled in a folder labeled “9-29-15 Blondes.”
In the years before he became president of the Seattle Mariners, Kevin Mather and two other top team executives were accused by women of inappropriate workplace conduct, resulting in the complainants receiving financial settlements, The Seattle Times has learned.
The complaints, which surfaced in 2009-10, roiled the organization internally, triggering reviews and staff-wide sexual-harassment seminars, The Times found after interviewing more than three dozen people who have worked within or around the Mariners organization.
