Snyder has said he'd never sell, but he says a lot of things. He also said he would never change the name and he changed it twice.

It's no secret that many of the other owners want him out. I lived in Northern VA for about 10 years. My parents and brother are still there and I still have friends in the area. The fans have completely turned on him. The stadium is mostly empty at kickoff, and most of the fans that are there are rooting for the visitors. The game day experience is miserable because the traffic and parking are terrible, and the stadium is overpriced and dated. And the team has sucked on the field. I know several people who were diehard fans that said they've given up on the team until he sells.


And, the team's geographical location means there are 3 different jurisdictions for a potential new stadium: Maryland, Virginia and DC, and none of them want to work with Snyder.

On top of that, there are all the sexual harassment and hostile workplace accusations.

He ran a once-proud franchise into the ground. It's not going to get better until he sells.

That’s gonna be a massive buy for someone or group. 10 digits for sure.

Forbes evaluated them at $4.78 billion back in August.

That would be a 4 billion dollar return on investment.

He's been completely incompetent as an owner. He meddles in football decisions and ran one of the great football franchises into the ground, gouging the fan base in the process. Along the way, he also ran a hostile work environment in which sexual harassment was commonplace and fought tooth and nail to avoid changing a racist name.

And it's going to make him $4 billion.

There is no justice in the world.

Eh, doesn't necessarily mean he's selling. Could be transferring to her or getting minority owners to lessen his debt load so he isn't at the mercy of the other owners granting him another waiver.

Schefter and others are reporting that it’s a total sale. The owners only need 24 votes to vote him out, and it came out after I started this thread that the feds are investigating him for financial improprieties, including withholding ticket revenue from visiting teams and screwing season ticket holders on refunds

What sucks about this is Snyder is a POS and for his toxic work place, he will walk away with 5B.

Likely just additional pressure to force the sale. Also good PR for the AG.
