Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
This is crazy. So excited. Remember how we thought this day would never come?
I'm hoping it's along the same lines as the Nats sale - the initial announcement was that the Lerners were selling shares, but its common knowledge now the team is up for sale. Dan is probably too bitter to announce the team is for sale.

Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
So is Snyder selling before having the stigma of getting kicked out of the NFL? Hopefully.
Maybe they have the votes and they are giving him the option of "doing it on his own terms". If he leaves now, most people won't remember all this bullshit and Dan can still attend parties as the guy who turned 800Mil into 5+Bil. Also, He hates Bezos for the WaPo bullshit. I doubt Bezos is the top choice. |

Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
Noticed some concern that he is only looking for minority partners. I don't think that will be an option as he'd need 3/4s of NFL owners to approve the sale - I don't see that happening if Snyder is still in the picture.

Both reports I'm sure will be damning to Dan. I can't think of ANY respectable business person who would want to hitch their wagon to Dan even if it were for 49% ownership share. The bottom line is, WAS is dead last in stadium attendance, and for the first time they are now being outperformed in the TV segment in their own market area. It gets worse and worse and it will keep getting worse as long as Dan is here, I really feel like there's too much pomp and circumstance for it to end up "Just" being a minority ownership sale / bid. I think Dan does not have the cash (obviously) to build a new stadium, and he is now realizing that no help is coming for him - MD, DC, VA wants nothing to do with him. He can only fill up FedEx field a third of the way, no way in hell he will fill up a newer, larger stadium. And I think he is finally seeing the walls close in on him. It's over for him I think. NFL network reported yesterday that they DO have the votes needed to remove Dan, but their preference was that he sold willingly. I am sure that has been conveyed to Dan and that is probably what has prompted all this. I think this is the end for Dan. He probably finishes out the year as the owner but I really think we will know who the front runner(s) are/is by Christmas time. And what a gift it would be for Fans.

Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
Goodell has been very quiet/non committal on all these reports for the last few months, cant help but think he has been quietly pushing Dan towards this position like he did with the name change. Goodell has to have a good idea already as to the likely outcomes of all of these reports and has maybe made the point that Dan will get a better price if he sells the team voluntarily rather than being forced out. Would maybe explain why Dan made such a sudden change of direction on both subjects. Just speculating

Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
I honestly never thought I would see this day during my lifetime. I'm glad I did. Was just as good as the three Super Bowls.
So happy right now. Hope it goes through.
