PleaseBlitz Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Given this article along with everything else, I'm now at 51/49 that Snyder does not intend to sell the team. He may be forced to, but I don't think he'll do it willingly. Edited February 28, 2023 by PleaseBlitz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins 2021 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 This will be a mess if he sell the team or not. I did not expect the loan thing that has just come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks the documents particularly attorney work product he has refused to turn over up to this point will aid in putting him behind bars, why would he cede possession and control of them by selling unless he has to?

Hooper Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If he doesn't sell willingly, how could they not vote him out? It wouldn't just be an embarrassment -- it would look like Goodell is covering his own actions up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should take down Goodell too if Fred Smith and Dwight Schar can claw back $1.5 billion from Dan and the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If Dan doesn’t sell, do you think the team will be the first professional product to apply for food stamps? He’s gone, it’s just a matter of when. Goodell might be behind him. It depends on what the other owners know about these actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Just now, Fan since a Fetus said: If Dan doesn’t sell, do you think the team will be the first professional product to apply for food stamps? He’s gone, it’s just a matter of when. Goodell might be behind him. It depends on what the other owners know about these actions. So many teams have minority investors. They all should be outraged and demand accountability. Some of these are investments in the hundreds of millions/billion range. This hurts every single owner because the value of being a minority investor just went down significantly. If the majority owner can commit blatant fraud and the NFL commissioner doesn’t even bother investigating once being made aware or sharing the allegations with the other 31 partners, there is a serious issue. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could potentially bake in an agreement with the buyer to keep it confidential, or he could destroy whatever is in his possession and instruct the law firm to also destroy it. It's shady, but he could probably do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organization first needs to be completely boycotted by the fan base until Snyder is gone.

Whoever’s left is going to stay anyways. bottom of the league in gates, in tv ratings, and bottom 1/3 in revenue. The owners grossly over leveraged. And every few weeks there’s another investigation. think we’ve done all that can be done and it’s working best it can. if I had to guess the flurry of news recently is both sides putting things out there for negotiation purposes. That’s all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn. That’s disappointing. I mean the most important thing is getting him to sell or forcing him out. But the thought of him in prison and doing a 30 for 30 interview from his cell is just awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s pissed off a lot of people and seemingly has no friends. By going after Allen he pissed off a pretty powerful political faction in Virginia. Including our current governor who has ties to the Allen family. And the current AG who’s political mentor is Allen’s brother. if you go timeline it all out you’ll see Virginia doing a 180 on its relationship with Snyder right after the Allen stuff happened. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Virginia went from the most likely state to be home to the new stadium, to not having enough support to even bring the issue to a vote. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not treated the way most overly rich people are with “white collar crimes”. Every once in a while they sacrifice one to keep the peace with the rest of us pawns. Snyder may be sacrificed as an act of going after corrupt rich people screwing over everyone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 No chance this results in jail for Snyder. I'm fine with him living out his days with his fabulous wealth so long as he doesn't own the team anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree. I don't think there will be any jail time. Possibly a hefty fine but who knows. Wealthy people (or those who play in the wealthy pool) have a different set of rules than the rest of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) If the ESPN article is accurate Roger is toast. He signed the approval of the $55 million dollar loan with B of A when Snyder did not have authorization from the Redskins board and did not have the required 2/3 approval of rest of the owners. When this came to light in the arbitration, Goodell and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash refused to allow the arbitrator to get the documentation supporting the loan. Goodell then shut down the arbitration, mediated the buyout of the minority partners, asked Wilkinson for an oral not written report and had the league allow an additional $450 million loan to fund the buyout. The whole thing is super fishy and Goodell participated in all of it and kept the other owners in the dark.
