5 disastrous decisions which tainted Dan Snyder's legacy as Commanders' owner

#3 - More accusations by Washington Post, including against Dan Snyder

In addition to the aforementioned investigation, a further 25 women came forward later in 2020 accusing the Redskins of sexual harassment.

This time, Dan Snyder was alleged to have requested an outtakes video of the team cheerleader's private parts.

Snyder was also accused of suggesting to a cheerleader at a charity event in 2004 that she and Snyder should 'get to know each other' in a hotel room. The Commanders' owner denies both claims.

#2 - Swindling fans

Earlier this year, a report by the Daily Mail claimed that the Washington Commanders and Dan Snyder had allegedly been swindling fans throughout his tenure, to the tune of over $5m.

According to the report, the team withheld money from around 2,000 season ticket holder accounts from 1999 until around 2017. A former employee also claimed that Snyder was directly involved in the crime.

#1 - Suing Redskins fans

One of the most infamous and terrible decisions of the Dan Snyder tenure came back in 2009. Following the housing market crash, a 72-year-old estate agent who was a Redskins season ticket holder requested that her season ticket be waived amid the financial crisis.

Snyder instead sued the woman for backing out of her ticket-renewal agreement, eventually winning $66k in court.

The $66k is a drop in the ocean for a man worth nearly $4.9bn, but could have financially crushed the fan.

Thankfully, Dan Snyder was talked out of forcing the woman to pay, but it was a complete Public Relations disaster.
