According to a new report from ESPN, embattled Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder — whose franchise has also been the subject of a congressional investigation this year — “instructed his law firms to look into owners and league executives.” When reached out to ESPN for comment on the story, Snyder’s attorneys denied the allegations as “categorically false.
”ESPN report claims Commaders owner Daniel Snyder has been trying to accumulate “dirt” on Roger Goodell and other NFL owners
For their investigative report, ESPN spoke to more than 30 owners, league and team executives, lawyers, and current and former Commanders employees.
“The fear of reprisal that Snyder has instilled in his franchise, poisoning it on the field and off, has expanded to some of his fellow owners. Multiple owners and league and team sources say they’ve been told that Snyder instructed his law firms to hire private investigators to look into other owners — and Goodell.” [via ESPN]
In the report, one source said that Snyder apparently views the NFL as a “mafia” because “all owners hate each other.” Another unnamed “veteran” NFL owner, however, disputed Snyder’s assertion: “That’s not true. All the owners hate Dan,” he said.

After the report was published, NFL fans took to Twitter to share either jokes or serious reactions about Snyder apparently being caught being an alleged supervillain once again.

Is there *anything* he can do to get kicked out?
At some point, it’ll be like “Today, the serial killer known as the Potomac Butcher was unmasked as Commanders owner Daniel Snyder. NFL owners met to discuss a response, but forcing a sale of the team is said to be off the table.”

Daniel Snyder makes me hope that there is indeed a hell, because Satan gonna have his ass on a rotisserie slow-cooking for what he’s done and the people he has wronged by his greed, hubris and arrogance. Not that the other owners are innocent by any means https://t.co/phbGcWtbrr

This Daniel Snyder stuff isn’t breaking news to me. I’ve been saying this for years. The reason he wasn’t being kicked out of league ownership is cause he knows all of the NFL’s dirty little secrets. Now that he’s threatening to expose other owners will that change? We’ll see.

Given reports from earlier this year that the NFL and its owners are looking for a way to force Snyder out, this bombshell story will likely only accelerate whatever plans the league has got cooking in order to do so.
