Just when you thought you understood where things stand with Washington Commanders Daniel Snyder, ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. unleashed his mega-lengthy story.
Tuesday morning Van Natta’s detailed report broke on ESPN.com, shedding light on the break up of Snyder and his minority owners.
Of course, there were many passionate reactions on Twitter. Several of which I saw that I simply can’t and won’t copy and paste because we at Commanders Wire have no desire to be inappropriate or unnecessarily mean-spirited. No, we simply want to attempt to be sorting out what appears to be an even much bigger mess than we previously imagined.
Here are some of the reactions after the latest Snyder bombshell.

As wild & confusing & tedious as all of the recent Dan Snyder/#Commanders-sale reports have been, the bottom line is that him selling appears as real as ever. His cash-flow problem is massive. The other NFL owners want him out. And the financial scandal has turned ultra-serious.

Right now it looks like Dan Snyder is either going to:
A) Sell the team that he loves so much to his sworn enemy Jeff Bezos
or
B) Get voted out by the other NFL owners…and then watch it get sold to Bezos.Either way he will leave pathetic and disgraced. A true shame.

JP Finlay quoting Brian Mitchell 106.7 the Fan
Strong words from @BMitchliveNBCS after bombshell report on Dan Snyder secret $55 million loan: "Last Thursday there was so much excitement about the hiring of Eric Bieniemy. Now it's only Tuesday and that's all gone. They always do this, erase the good with some smut."

I will never in my life understand how nobody in the @NFL has been man enough to stand up to Dan Snyder. He is a disgrace to the league, the city and the team he represents, and everyone who has continued to enable him along the way continues to pay the price.
