Washington commanders are only a victory to reach the Super Bowl Lix, while they head for Philadelphia to face their RIVAUX from the East NFC, the Eagles, during the NFC championship match on Sunday.
This was more than a quick turnaround for this franchise, since the quarter-rear Jayden Daniels, selection n ° 2 of the team and the new coache staff led by Dan Quinn completely revitalized the commanders to the point where they could compete for Vince Lombardi. New Orleans trophy next month.
But a particular person does not seem to like to look at this incredible scenario of the NFL unfold. This is because he owned the team.

ESPN reports that Dan Snyder, the former owner in disgrace of the commanders, does not like to see the franchise succeed without him.
The report indicates that, during a dinner with associates in London, where he currently lives, the commanders were naturally mentioned in the conversation. When one of these partners returned to the United States, one of their colleagues asked what Snyder thought of the team, who also had a first-year managing director, Adam Peters, who had formed a team that played well At that time during the regular season.

“He hates it,” Snyder’s partner told the colleague.
Snyder sold commanders under duress, while important scandals concerning the culture of the workplace, including sexual harassment and a toxic work environment, were exposed to the public. An NFL survey was carried out and led to conclusions supporting allegations, resulting in pressures from all sides to sell.
Snyder finally sold the franchise he has controlled since May 1999 for a record amount of $ 6 billion in Josh Harris and a group of sponsors, including David Blitzer, who together have the 76ers of Philadelphia of the NBA and the Devils of New NHL Jersey. Magic Johnson is also part of the property group.
Even if he did not want to sell the franchise, Snyder suffered the pressure of his owner colleagues, with whom he was not in good standing. There were even reports in 2022 indicating that Snyder had told some close associates that he had dirt on Commissioner Roger Goodell and his owner colleagues, including Jerry Jones of Dallas Cowboys.

“They can’t fuck with me,” said Snyder, according to ESPN.
But the sale took place after Harris brought together around twenty partners to bring capital, and that the experienced owner of the sports team has undertaken to change the culture within the team on all fronts. And it seems to go faster than expected on the performance aspect.
It seems that Peters and the rest of the organization have put their finger on the head, with Daniels, the winner of the LSU Heisman trophy, who has shown composure, leadership and clutch game to accompany this That we can clearly see on the field: a double threat quarterback which quickly became a star.
Commanders did not just have a 12-5 file during the regular season to win a Wild Card place, and they have not only beat the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay on the road to win their first Match eliminatory since 1999 – the year Snyder bought the team. They knew the surprise of the year, losing 45 points on the Detroit lions to beat the n ° 1 head of the NFC on the road to Ford Field, shocking a team that many believed intended for New Orleans.
Washington is looking for his first appearance at the Super Bowl since 1991, a match in which they won after a 14-2 file in the regular season. While commanders are concentrating on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field for a third meeting with the Eagles this season, the future is certainly promising, because it is only the first year of a brand new regime.
Meanwhile, ESPN reports that Snyder has sold her real estate assets in the United States and leads most of his activities from the United Kingdom. They also have sources saying that he wants to enter a Premier League football club, but he should not have a sports team so early.

ESPN adds that Snyder “denies” what led to pressure to sell, and a person close to him says that he has “sadness-for himself”.
“It kills him … it devastates him,” said the person.
Commanders will kick off against Saquon Barkley and Eagles on Sunday at 3 p.m. to determine who will represent the NFC at the Super Bowl Lix.
