What was the drama? They wanted to sell to another entity and he blocked it and wanted to buy their shares?

Also, he wasn’t held accountable at all for their scandals, and even somewhat rewarded with a $450m debt waiver that he won’t have to pay back until 2028. Without that waiver, he couldn’t afford to buy out the minority owners or, he’d have to take out an astronomical loan and put up god knows what for collateral (likely the franchise).

Preemptive strike to keep the franchise in the family control. Probably cèed some duties to his sister Michelle (along with new FO staff) to taka heat off of him - then help steer the ship until his children are ready to take over.

Really. I would be so jazzed if he brought back the Commander name. It’s history for Pete sake. Let’s go Dan. Do it. Do it!!!

I would get a new Commanders tee shirt and head down to Union Square.

Snyder was talking to Jerry Jones and decided to do as Jerry did and make the team a family-run business.

The minority owners wanted to sell after the last sexual harassment allegations. They couldn't find buyers so Snyder said fine I got ya.

Could this be part of a larger league plan to consolidate ownership to then force Snyder to sell?

If he did, I would have a hard time hating them the same.

The cancel culture nonsense has to be dealt with.
