He Washington commanders They are just a victory to get to Super Bowl Lix, while they go to Philadelphia to face their NFC East rivals, the Eagles, in the NFC championship game on Sunday.
It has been more than a rapid change for this franchise, since the field marshal Jayden DanielsThe second general selection of the team, and the new coaching staff headed by Dan Quinn have completely revitalized the Commanders to the point where they could compete for the Vince Lombardi trophy in New Orleans next month.
But a particular person does not seem like to see how this incredible NFL story develops. That is because I used to own the team.

ESPN reports Dan Snyder, the former owner of Commanders fallen out of favor, does not like to see that the franchise is successful without him.
The report states that, during a dinner with associates in London, where now lives mainly, commanders naturally entered the conversation. When one of those associates returned to the United States, a colleague of his asked him what Snyder thought about the team, who also had a first -year general manager in Adam Peters to build a template that was playing well at that time during the regular season .

“He hates him,” Snyder’s associate told colleague.
Snyder sold to the Commanders under coercion, while important scandals related to work culture were shown to the public, including sexual harassment and a toxic work environment. An NFL investigation What resulted in findings that supported the accusations were carried out, which generated pressure from all directions to sell.
Snyder finally sold the franchise that controlled Josh Harris and a group of limited partners since May 1999, which includes David Blitzer, who together are owners of the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA and the New Jersey NHL devils. Magic Johnson is also in the owner group.
Although he did not want to sell the franchise, Snyder was pressed by his fellow owners, with whom he had no good reputation in the first place. There were even reports in 2022 that indicated that Snyder had told some nearby associates that he had dirty information about Commissioner Roger Goodell and other owners, including Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys.

“They can’t fuck me,” Snyder supposedly said, according to ESPN.
But the sale took place after Harris got around 20 members to contribute the capital, and the experienced owner of the sports team set out to change the culture within the team on all fronts. And that seems to go faster than expected in the aspect of performance.
It seems that Peters and the rest of the organization gave in the nail, with Daniels, the winner of the Heisman Trophy of LSU, who has demonstrated aplomet, leadership and decisive game to accompany what can be seen clearly on the playing field: a marshal Double threat field that has quickly become a star.
The Commanders not only had a 12-5 mark during the regular season to win a wildcard, and not only defeated the Bay Buccaneers Tampa as visitors to win their first playoff game since 1999, the year Snyder bought the team . They had the surprise of the year, losing 45 points against the Detroit Lions to defeat the first classified of the NFC as a visitor in the Ford Field, surprising a team that many believed that it was destined for New Orleans.
Washington seeks its first appearance at the Super Bowl since 1991, a game in which they won after finishing 14-2 during the regular season. While the commanders are concentrated on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in a third encounter with the Eagles this season, the future is certainly brilliant, since this is only the first year of a completely new regime.
Meanwhile, ESPN reports that Snyder has been selling its real estate properties in the United States and performs most of its businesses from the United Kingdom. They also have sources that say they want to buy a participation in a Premier League soccer club, but it is not expected to own a sports team in the short term.

ESPN adds that Snyder “denies” which led to the pressure to sell, and a person close to him says he has “sadness, for himself.”
“He’s killing him … He’s devastating him,” said the person.
The Commanders will start against Saquon Barkley and the Eagles on Sunday at 3 pm to determine who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl Lix.
