Owning 100% makes it easier to sell.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

It was laughable to see post suggesting bezos was gonna be the owner. Top notch laughable as it was incompetent

I never saw any stories that seriously suggested Bezos was coming in, but the fact is he's filthy rich and may want to own a team someday. It wasn't hard to put 2 and 2 together given our shaky ownership situation.

I get it but I saw a lot of folks trying to connect the dots...not here but all over

[Chico23231]

Snyder just tighten his grip. The up coming Beth investigation will go nowhere.

It’s crazy to think this was the outcome

[Chief X_Phackter]

There were and still are multiple reports that he has interest in owning an NFL franchise, and he has strong ties to Washington. While I don't know if Dan would ever sell, I don't think it was (or still is) far fetched or laughable.

[MTK]

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.

I don't think he will either, but it's far from a laughable scenario. If Bezos wants a team, he will get one. That doesn't mean it will be the WFT, but money talks and no one on earth has more than him.

Never say never, who's to say if Bezos came with a strong offer Snyder wouldn't listen? Plenty of sources say Dan isn't very liquid and most of his worth is tied up in the team. Definitely wouldn't rule it out.

NO WAY in hell THE DAN ever sells. Snyder Communications was a giant slamming scam, company that bought it wrote billion+ off after sale, the entire purchase amount. Every business THE DAN has touched he has run into the ground, Six Flags, etc. He gets an economic free rider effect in NFL, he can be completely incompetent, but other competent owners and managers ensure he cashes in. He is never surrendering that. He gets to sit back and do nothing and make $50-$100M a year in profit not including inflation of team value. . . Plus he is the supreme fan boy. He loves the core identity of being Skins owner. Without Skins, he is just a douche no one likes with a yacht. . . He has publicly said he will ensure the team is inherited by his son. . .

Think of all the stories over the years. The ice cream. The not looking him in eyes. The Mr. Snyder. The stop and salute in his house when he walks by. The charging for practices. The suing season ticket holders. Etc. Etc. Etc. The reason the Skins have been bad for so long is the THE DAN is just a pirate, captain pump and run. He doesn't know how to build anything honest or lasting. He cashed in on one gigantic pyramid of fraud, give him credit for that, but has NO IDEA how to build anything honest and good long term. Twenty years into owning the team, it just occurs to him that we need a coach-centric culture? LOL. LOL. What we need is any culture that doesn't involve him.

He's liquid enough to own a 9-figure yacht, LOL. All he wants to do is travel on that, eat good and feed his man tits and keep them plump, and enjoy the Skins during offseason from yachting. He has nothing else to offer the world except fraud and deceit and exploitation and treating people abusively, and he certainly knows this deep in his heart. Look how poorly he is aging, in moments of clarity, he must think of what a turd he has been to people, especially the whole don't look him in the eyes, guy thinks he's a f-ing Roman Emperor. He will never sell unless he suffers some catastrophic loss of wealth that makes him think his son can't keep the team, which is highly improbable, especially having borrowed $450M to have total ownership. He'll pay that off in about a decade, and then be rolling in cash. Never Bezos level cash, but enough to have to never sell for sure. He just sits back and watches the cash roll in. . .

His son will probably have to sell a minority interest to pay the estate taxes, unless THE DAN can perhaps shift assets to secrecy jurisdictions or front companies and escape taxation.

Butt hurt much LOL? Seriously I agree w/ practically everything you said but wow, just wow. I have to schedule PTO to read your posts ;-)

The Shady Shit began with THE DAN not paying dividends and then refusing to give investors a timely account of expenses. We are now stuck with THE DAN forever and will never win a SB. THE DAN will also pass the team onto his son, who is probably just as epically useless, so basically. . .

Bezos loves DC and would probably favor owning the Skins. He could have easily bought the Panthers. . . But then he hadn't really settled onto the post-Seattle phase of his life then either. He should just buy the entire NFL, LOL. Also, he is pouring GOBS into his rocket company, and may favor that more than an NFL team at present. On the other hand, he also just retired from main running of Amazon responsibilities, so would have time to enjoy NFL team. . .

[FrenchSkin]

Dan isn't going anywhere now, maybe the investigation was joke from the start, maybe it simply didn't get enough to force him out... either way the NFL wouldn't back him up so strongly and then have him sell the team.

The only positive from this is we may finally get to have a team name. I do think the possibility he may have to sell was a big reason in the delay, cuz the opportunity to rebrand would have increased the value of the franchise even more.
