Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Why would this delay a sale though? It wouldn’t be the new owner that’s getting sued. The new owner wouldn’t have anything to do with the civil lawsuit, would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 He's beyond toxic. I love it. He can try to change his mind about selling, but there is no universe where the owners then don't vote him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the new owner takes on the risk or has Dan put part of the sale proceeds in escrow until after the case is concluded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it’s the Dan Snyder commanders that are being sued. It wouldn’t be the Jeff Bezos/Jay-Z/Matthew Mcc commanders. What would the risk be?

The team can be held liable even after transfer of ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liability falls onto it, it's also why the named Snyder directly. It doesn't allow him to hide behind the team, they are both subject to the proceedings and can both be found liable separately. If you buy the team before it is settled, you are accepting the risk level of the pending litigation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this stuff ties everyone to the hip and they'll want to work together. I don't see at this point that there's any scenario that ends with Snyder in possession of the team when the smoke clears. You've got multiple active civil investigations, the possibility of criminal investigations, a compromised league Commisioner, an owner verbally calling for his ouster, possible league financial liability, and now even some players feel free to start spilling the beans on their view of ownership. There will be no partial sale or decision not to sell. Either he sells the team voluntarily or the owners vote as a block to oust him and deal with any litigation afterwards.

It's like suing Ford, you're not suing the guy on the line but the overall entity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that the NFL settles with a massive payout to make it all go away and prevent them from having to testify in court and reveal emails. It's not just Snyder's ego...this all started because of Goodell's disastrous decision to not release the Wilkinson report. That would have worked back in the 1980s, but not in this era. I think Goofball Goodell should be shown the door too. His misguided efforts to 'defend the shield' only brought more heat. I'm not surprised that he didn't foresee that possibility because he's always been kind of dumb, IMO. Certainly not like Tagliabue was!

GoCommiesGo Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I don't get the idea that people think this pushes Dan and the NFL closer. He's constantly exposing them to unnecessary risk, I would think that would drive them further apart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'd imagine after a sale, if the case is still pending the AG would drop the team (and new owner) as a defendant. They'd got their wish and gotten rid of Dan as owner of the team and they would continue to go after him and the NFL/Goodelle. They would want a good relationship with the city and the new owners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 Snyder Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Here’s the bottom line… Dan is in way more trouble today than he was yesterday. He had also brought more trouble upon the league. 2 outcomes: 1- He sells soon 2- He sells a little longer from now than soon Im not a lawyer so I guess there’s a chance this *could* bog down a sale prior to the start of next season. This will only infuriate the other owners more so it’s just a matter of time. It’s WHEN, not IF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
