The walls seem to be crumbling mightily on Snyder. The horrible public reputation, the growing congressional investigations, and the inability to ever get a new stadium means the end seems to be nigh.

darin3 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Or he's just pandering to the NFL brass by reportedly having BofA Securities look into "potential transactions". That doesn't mean he's selling the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they push too hard, it's going to end up in litigation and will tied up in courts for the next decade. They need to give him the Robert Sarver treatment. He needs to be gently coaxed to let go on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Isn't he humiliated by all this? Just sell the damn team already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was in their bylaws that if a majority of owners or some other % vote to remove somebody that they can they can. Of course you can contest everything these days so I don't doubt that you're correct he would sue if he wanted to Edited November 4, 2022 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running With Daboll Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Looooooong overdue for this creep to be gone. Hopefully his departure is expedited somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Jay Z is interesting in purchasing the team. Ironically he's the guy who made millions calling women bitches, hoes and using the N word every other word. The NFL will embrace him with open arms.

Let's hope that double standard doesn't exist to this extreme. That would not be a good look for the league at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jay Z has a ton $$$, but I don't know if he has Daniel Snyder or Jerry Jones type bank or really any other NFL owner. I suppose he could get the money together to purchase the team, Maybe if he goes in with Beyonce. I hope not though. Just looked it up and Jay Z has a Net Worth of 1.3 Billion and compared to Daniel Snyder that is several Billions less . Snyder's Net Worth is 4.9 Billion. Jerry Jones Net Worth is 15.9 Billion, so Jay Z is poor compared to Mr. Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 From what I'm reading NFL owners will get updates on this later in May and vote on the new owners in the coming months. After all the headaches with Snyder and I suspect some thorough vetting of potential owners making bids by the NFL this is likely to be approved soon.

stevegrab Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Too funny, that $60M fine a about $2 million per NFL team. I am sure it is just a coincidence that the sale was approved the same day the investigation was finalized and the fine announced. I wonder if Snyder is unhappy, he paid about $800 million for the team when he bought it in 1999, the purchase price is 7.5 times that, or a 650% profit isn't bad.

The Commanders may end up changing their name again. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2023/5/26/23738642/washington-commanders-name-trademark-uspto And there are fans who want to rename it just to wash away the Snyder years.

Honestly I've heard a lot of people mention how "Washington Football Team" grew on them and they'd prefer to go back to that, and I'm one of them.

Make it the Washington Team of Football and we're all on board, here we go WTF here we go! From the linked article 😁 To be honest, there seems to be a leg to stand on here, because I don’t think many football fans would honestly confuse the two entities — but this is a federal government agency, and logic isn’t always a strong suit.

At first it was stupid as hell like a JV team name... but after awhile it just fit and had its own kind of cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
