Interesting that the request for debt waiver was approved by NFL finance committee they have rules on the percentage you can borrow to finance the team and he was already leveraged. Rich people breaking the rules for rich people.

Yes...and they breaking these rules for someone with a major, organizational wide sexual harassment investigation? The investigation is either a sham too or is a nothing burger. No way they do this if the outcome was already determined.

The behind the scenes conversations about this would be fascinating with the NFL and other owners. I’m sure Snyder had some firepower behind him to get this done...Jerry Jones being probably acting top muscle in support

Forcing out minority owners instead of Snyder with all the scandal over the last couple years, it’s really something. Snyder in total control as the outcome

Fixed it for you. They were never going to do anything with Snyder but publicly slap him on the wrist and basically say, do a better job of not letting this stuff get out in the open!

WTOP is also reporting that DS is buying out the minority owners. This is bad news for WFT and its fans. DS is a lousy owner who will now be an empowered lousy owner. Until he's gone WFT will continue to be a bottom tier team.

I'm not thrilled about the news, but it's not like he was any less powerful before. Hell, a few years ago, I didn't know the team had minority owners.

My guess is the former but I also view this as a positive for the NFL. Intense discord amongst the ownership group is not good for business and even though this isn't the franchise from my childhood it is a major market in probably the major division based on top to bottom team recognition alone. Removing one bad situation adds stability.

Keim also reported it, oh well it is what it is. Can't lose sleep over it

As amazing as it may seem to us, the long suffering fanbase, the other owners actually like Snyder.

As for keeping WFT, yea ok, but we need a better "W". The current one reminds me of this:

Some cross marketing with the Nats and use of their curly W would be nice, but probably not in the cards.

The face of the franchise had this made for a reason ($100K)

It's here to stay

Owning 100% makes it easier to sell.

We can still use a W as a primary or secondary logo with any new nickname. The Washington part (unfortunately) is not changing.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Me too, it may also make it less complicated for the NFL to force a sale...... at the very least I don't think it necessarily means he is not selling the team in the future.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Dan isn't selling. I think this whole fiasco with the minority owners trying to smear him has only made him dig in his heels even further. Really interested to see where that part of the story goes. Seems like some really shady shit was going on with people trying to force him to sell.

Whatever it takes to get that weasel out im good with. We have seen enough of him already. There is nothing they could fabricate to make it more obvious he needs to go.
