Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Daniel Marc Snyder is an American businessman and former owner of the Washington Commanders, an American football franchise belonging to the National Football League (NFL). He founded the marketing company Snyder Communications in 1989, amassing a wealth that led him to buy the Commanders, then known as the Redskins, from Jack Kent Cooke's estate in 1999 for $800 million. Snyder is widely considered among the worst owners in the history of professional sports, with the team marred by several controversies, and managing six playoff appearances, four division titles, and two playoff victories during his 24 years of ownership. Among the controversies under his leadership was his long-time refusal to change the controversial Redskins name, allegations of sexual harassment within the organization, a toxic workplace culture, and other financial issues.
