Daniel Snyder
Daniel Marc Snyder (born November 23, 1964) is an American businessman who formerly owned the Washington Commanders, an American football franchise belonging to the National Football League (NFL). He bought the team, then known as the Redskins, from the estate of Jack Kent Cooke in 1999. Snyder is widely considered to be one of the worst owners in the history of professional sports, with the team managing only two playoffs wins in six appearances as well as fostering a toxic workplace culture, committing financial improprieties, and allegations of sexual misconduct.

By the early 2020s, pressure from other NFL owners and investigations by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and other agencies led him moving to London and selling the team to a group headed by Josh Harris in 2023 for $6.05 billion, the largest transaction ever for a sports franchise.
