The NFL owners are reportedly in talks to select Dan Snyder as the owner of the Washington Post after his last meeting with his team for sale.
The Washington Post reports that Snyder and his attorneys “demanded” assurances from the team and other team owners that he would not face any legal liability down the road after selling the franchise.
These demands from Snyder are reported to have “infuriated some owners and renewed discussions about a possible vote to remove him from the ownership of the commanders.” They call Snyder’s move “absurd,” especially considering the franchise’s ability to control the franchise.

The commission found that “sexual abuse, harassment and other toxic behaviors are rampant” in the group.

John Brownlee and Stuart Nash, attorneys for the commanders, backed off with a statement to Fox News Digital at the time.
“These congressional investigators have demonstrated, almost immediately, that they have no interest in the truth, and are only interested in chasing the headlines by following one side of the story. Today’s report that is what this one-party system can predict,” the statement said. .
“There is no new information here,” the statement continued. “The committee continues to criticize Mr. Snyder for refusing to appear at a committee meeting last spring, despite Mr. Snyder’s agreement to sit, on a day selected by the committee, for extended hours. 11 of the never-before-seen questions under oath.

There is also an ESPN report that says Snyder paid investigators to dig up NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and other team owners, gathering information to use if needed. Snyder is reported to have said, “They can’t fk with me,” when speaking privately.
Snyder sent a lengthy email to NFL owners following the report, blasting ESPN.
