The Washington commanders are just a victory from reaching Super Bowl Lix, going to Philadelphia to meet their NFC East-Rival Eagles in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
It was more than a quick change for this franchise, as a quarterback Jayden DanielsThe number 2 general selection of the team and the new technical staff under the leadership of Dan Quinn have revived the commanders completely new life to the point where they could compete next month for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans.
But one person in particular does not seem to like to see this incredible NFL story line unfolding. That’s because he owned the team.

ESPN reports Dan Snyder, the former owner of the commanders fallen, does not like to succeed the franchise without him.
The report states that during a dinner with employees in London, where he now largely lives, the commanders of course came up in the conversation. When one of those employees returned to the United States, a colleague of theirs found some Snyder from the team, who also had a first -year GM built in Adam Peters, a selection that played well during the regular competition at that time.

“He hates it,” Snyder’s employee told the colleague.
Snyder sold the commanders under forced, because significant scandals with regard to culture in the workplace, including sexual harassment and a toxic working environment, were publicly visible. An NFL study was performed, which resulted in findings that supported the accusations, which led to pressure from all sides to sell.
Snyder eventually sold the franchise he has checked since May 1999 for a record amount of $ 6 billion to Josh Harris and a group of limited partners, including David Blitzer, who together own the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA and the New Jersey Devils of the NHL . Magic Johnson is also in the ownership group.
Although he did not want to sell the franchise, Snyder was put under pressure by his co-owners, with whom he did not have a good reputation in the first place. In 2022 there were even reports that Snyder had told some closest employees that he had dirty about commissioner Roger Goodell and fellow owners, including Jerry Jones from Dallas Cowboys.

“They can’t have sex with me,” Snyder reportedly told ESPN.
But the sale took place after Harris found around twenty partners to bring in the capital, and the experienced owner of the sports team wanted to change the culture within the team on all fronts. And that seems to go faster than expected.
It seems that Peters and the rest of the organization hit the nail on the head, with Daniels, the winner of the Heisman Trophy from LSU, who has shown balance, leadership and coupling game in accordance with what is clearly visible on the playing field: A quarterback with a double threat that quickly became a star.
The commanders did not only go with 12-5 during the regular season to earn a Wild Card place, and they not only defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road to win their first play-off match since 1999-it year in which Snyder bought the club. team. They had the upset of the year and left 45 points behind the Detroit Lions to beat the number 1 of the NFC on Ford Field, which shocked a team that many thought it was intended for New Orleans.
Washington is looking for his first Super Bowl performance since 1991, a competition in which they won after they won 14-2 during the regular season. While the commanders concentrate on Lincoln Financial Field on a third meeting with the Eagles this season on Sunday, the future will certainly look bright, since this is only the first year of a completely new regime.
In the meantime, ESPN reports that Snyder has sold his American real estate possession and does most of his affairs from the United Kingdom. They also have sources that say that he wants to buy himself in a football club from the Premier League, but it is not expected that he will soon have a sports team.

ESPN adds that Snyder “denies” which has led to the pressure to sell, and a person from his environment says that he is “sad for himself.”
“It kills him … it destroys him,” the person said.
