From SBNation:

"How does all this end?
Realistically, all signs are still pointing to Snyder selling this team. It’s always been a vanity project for him, albeit one that’s made him wealthier than his wildest dreams. He purchased the team for $750M in 1999, so he’s already on pace to make an 800 percent return on his investment — but beyond that Snyder has always loved viewing himself as a hero, even while being despised.

Over the last two years the narrative surrounding the Commanders has morphed. The team is no longer so bad that they’re booed, but rather the boos are directed right at Snyder. Try as he might to ignore them, deep down he can’t, and it’s eating him alive to see his team be loved, while he’s so reviled.

That ego is the most pressing reason Snyder would walk. To be clear, he still doesn’t want to — but it beats being torn apart by tens of thousands of people every week when you appear on a jumbotron.

Snyder might think he’s playing 4D chess by trying to drive up the value of his team, when in reality he’s playing checkers. In the end he will sell, and whoever buying the Commanders will be happy with what they’re paying."

I still think Tanya getting booed was the breaking point.

Snyder has lost touch with reality. He wants the other owners to indemnify him from actions he committed. Hell, the other owners should make Snyder indemnify them! They are the ones at risk from Snyder actions.

this could get ugly.
It will

Snyder did business this way long before he became he owned the team.

Ultimately things like this will be why he has to sell the team. He is leveraged to the hilt.

Excellent point.

If I am Goodell, I call Snyder and tell him that he has 1 week to select a seller or he is out. I know the NFL isn't squeaky clean, but WHY are they so scared of Dan Snyder?

The world will NEVER know.

It makes sense.

I tried telling Dean this last year but he told me we need to "focus on the field". He said he was here to "talk about the football team".

He never understood this all flows together and is connected.

Honestly, I have no idea what to think anymore. The longer this goes on, the more stories will break and the more insane demands Snyder will come up with. I knew he wouldn't go quietly....but this is on another level.

I'm actually enjoying watching Dan lose this team while kicking and screaming.

There is almost a sweet justice in this thing dragging out and getting to see Dan get slapped around with something new every time he tries to make a power move to hold on to his........excuse me our team.

I actually don't.

I am tired of the bad press and the trickle of fans who have finally given up.

I am tired of this team making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The more he kicks and screams, the more he helps burn down the organization. We might have the dubious honor of having the worst organization of all time.

Nah, I'm enjoying watching a desperate Dan. As long as it gets done.

You should be loving this. It just gets you closer to your end goal.

You don't think Van Natta just stumbled across this do you. It is a hit piece, someone gave him the information .... hell it could be a guy with the last name Allen. Snyder started kicking and screaming ..... well looky here possible bank fraud.
