Commanders owner Dan Snyder and his legal team are lobbying the NFL to limit the release of a report about sexual misconduct allegations and financial improprieties against him, according to a Friday report from ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham.
Sources told ESPN that one of Snyder’s main motivations for holding up the release of the findings, beyond being wary of the reporting against him, was to hold up the sale of the team to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris.
“It’s the main remaining issue,” an unnamed source told Van Natta and Wickersham, referring to the unreleased report’s effect on a potential sale of the franchise.
