Dan Snyder, the former owner of the Washington Commanders, is reportedly distraught at the success of the team after he sold it for $6.05bn in 2023.

According to a report by ESPN, Snyder now spends most of his time in London, where he has watched the Commanders’ progress to the NFC championship game with jealousy. During his 24 seasons as Commanders owner, they won only two playoff games, the same number they have won since he sold the team in 2023. His record as Commanders owner off the field was even worse: he was investigated by the NFL and US Congress over allegations of a misconduct. The congressional investigation found Snyder played a large part in what it described as a toxic workplace culture around the team.
