More news came out on Thursday that shows minority owners in Washington are pressuring team owner Dan Snyder to sell the football team, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Though several people are encouraging a sale, the report shows that Snyder has no intention of doing so.
“The stakes have attracted interest from a variety of potential buyers, but Mr. Snyder has been reluctant to give any of them the option to eventually buy control despite the attempt to oust him,” the Journal said. “That has prompted some would-be buyers to walk away.”
The development in the story may be new, but it is nothing we haven’t heard before when it comes to minority owners being fed up with Snyder, and that relationship fraying. Earlier this offseason, minority owners were said to be looking to sell their own shares before the team announced that they would be changing their long-controversial name and logo. And then, just weeks later, a Washington Post story alleged widespread sexual harassment and verbal abuse against women inside the organization.
Whether Snyder will eventually be forced into a sale or not is yet to be seen, but things are anything but smooth in Washington as the 2020 season fast approaches.
