Dan Snyder's tenure as the owner of the Washington Commanders is close to an end.
The team is up for sale following an insane amount of pressure over Snyder due to reports of malpractice and sexual misconduct. These span his more than two decades as the decision-maker in Washington.
But it's not just Commanders fans who want to see Dan Snyder leave the team. Most NFL owners also feel that he's not a good guy to call the shots in Washington, as it's one of the U.S. most-important markets. It also doesn't help that their on-field product has been minimal since he became the owner in 1999.
There was the expectation that the owners would vote to force him to sell the team during their meeting in Phoenix from March 26 to 29. But according to the Washington Post, this is off the table for now. In an article on the subject, the Post wrote:
"For now, at least, owners appear to be standing down on any attempt to force Snyder to sell his team. Such a move would require a vote of at least three-quarters of the owners."
A person with direct knowledge of the owners' views said:
"The vote-out will happen if he insists on being indemnified. If the deal [to sell the team] is just like Denver, that’s fine. But if he expects special treatment, that leads to trouble. The biggest thing that will lead to a vote is if he says, ‘Indemnify me.’ That’s the issue.”
Why is Dan Snyder selling the Washington Commanders?
It's clear to everybody that this is the best thing to do. Not only have the Commanders been embroiled in many controversies, but fans also want him gone due to their lack of success on the field.
Accusations range from a toxic workplace to sexual misconduct regarding the team's cheerleaders. There's also an investigation regarding financial improprieties that sparked outrage among other owners. Misleading reports saw the team retain almost $5 million in 2016 from 2,000 season ticket holders.
Selling the team would see Dan Snyder walk away with billions to his name, while the league could move on without more problems regarding his presence. It would be best for all interested parties.
