The end of Dan Snyder’s time as an NFL owner sparked celebrations from fans and pundits alike on Thursday following the approval of the sale of the Commanders to the Josh Harris group for $6.05 billion.
Snyder’s 24-year tenure was cloaked in controversy over the last several years stemming from an investigation into the organization over allegations of workplace misconduct. The findings of the investigation, led by former U.S. attorney Mary Jo White, were also released Thursday, along with the news of Snyder receiving a $60 million fine as a penalty.
In addition to the off-field issues, Washington struggled on the field under Snyder, with the club logging a combined 164–220–2 record and just two playoff wins in six appearances.
